Comment on 'We don't have teachers' | This Austin private school lets AI teach core subjects

ITT some people saying how good this could be.
Will they be the same people wondering where all the jobs are? How AI gets tweaked to offer a slanted instead of a factual and historically correct education?
“Where all the jobs are?”
Jobs are not going away, this myth needs to die. It will simply shift to whatever people are willing to pay for, just like it has done for the last 100 years.
Just like how forklifts didn’t replace human labor, AI will not replace mental labor. It’s simply impossible, with the scope of the problems we have any additional mental computation is advantageous no matter how minor it may be to an AI.
You mean all the jobs that did things like: go overseas to cheaper labor. Underpay. Turn into gig economy jobs. Underpay. Who is going to pay to move these people who get displaced out of their jobs and into another market? Nobody.
“Simply shift…”
Real myopic, flippant and oversimplified answer you give that completely ignores the cost and personal economic fallout to the displaced individuals.
“Real myopic”
Says the person who is ignoring a characterisation of long-term trends and fixating on short term affects.
“Who’s going to pay to move these people who get displaced out of there jobs”
Nobody, because they don’t need to. This is simply leftist conspiracism, people simply aren’t suffering from mass unemployment, the median wages have steadily gone up (especially considering PPP per capital).
Just because you get displaced from your industry, doesn’t mean that jobs don’t exist or that you can’t make just as much (or more elsewhere), all doing relatively unskilled work (I.e minimal or zero training).
“Gig economy jobs”
Proof that you literally have no idea what you are talking about. Gig economy jobs exploded during a competitive labour market people choose to work them primarily for work flexibility (often as additional spending money). They had tons of stable job opportunities and they still do.
Complaining about the “gig economy”, is inanely out-of-touch, but because one or two idiot journalists whined about it as being some sort of dystopia, everyone jumped on it as some sort of valid critique.
I love how you skipped right past the underemployment and undercompensated workforce that still exist today from all those changes.
You’re real management material. Go write an op-Ed on all the great profits to be made.

Not saying im pro AI teachers, but don’t curriculums in many place teach a slanted view already?

They absolutely do. However, humans aren’t monolithic, and there will be those that make some effort to be more accurate even when surrounded by those with an opposing agenda.
A single AI will likely be monolithic and can be reprogrammed if it shows any Singens of dissent.

And it won’t turn whistle-blower when the state unilaterally changes curriculum when no one is looking.
