[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 482912, member: 983"] You’ve never been a teacher in a classroom if you think it’s that simple. The teacher’s role is much beyond teaching the subject matter and those will never be replaced by AI. Helping keep kids on task, motivating them, steering them towards interests and strengths. I personally believe many of the intangibles people think AI will provide are missing a big part of what an educator does. I was a classroom teacher during Covid. We went full virtual at the end of the year and had hybrid options in years after. While these were haphazard at first, the later options were improved. Current online learning options are even stronger with AI. But from what I saw then my concern isn’t the content or curriculum. It’s the kids actually doing anything without someone there to guide them. During our virtual time I’ve never seen such poor performance when the students (and parents) were the captain of the ship. Most did nothing, even the best kids. There just wasn’t the accountability there and if you replace teachers with AI I’d guess you’ll see the same. I’m no longer in education and do support flexible learning options. If you are a family that can make it work, your kid will do the work, and AI will teach, great. 3 hours to do a days work? More power to you. But remember there are kids and families that won’t. And without education we’ll just end up paying for them later. Unless you go by what Elon said. Finally, you’ll never convince me AI is going to replace a shop teacher or other hands on learning. There’s so many kids out there who get no experience in stuff like this without school. We’re going to need welders and mechanics and just simply kids who can use the thought process that goes along with building and fixing stuff. AI can’t replace that. [/QUOTE]
