Umm, teacher here. I disagree wholeheartedly. It’s not an effective tool as it makes mistakes and is generally not much better than a search engine. Oh and it uses water and electricity to a degree that should alarm more people.

I thought we wanted kids to be in school. So now they will be in school, in front of a computer with an AI generated teacher? Who monitors, who takes them to the restroom if they need help?Who comforts them when they are crying? The FUCKING COMPUTER? You people are FUCKING STUPID!

I'm a public school teacher. Overuse of tech tools is DEGRADING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION. There is a ed-tech industrial complex undermining the quality of education. They want to replace teachers with computers for a variety of reasons. One is to limit the development of critical thinking in kids.

So kind of like returning to the days of ancient Greece, where people had to learn through the oral history before it became commonplace to write things down so they could be shared, referenced, and built upon rather than being rediscovered anew time and time again, where those eager to learn...

had to seek out a mentor to teach and guide them... ...and turn that over to a bot that has been trained on an unimaginable volume of data that can come from any crackpot, conspiracy theorist, internet troll, reality TV host/fan, "influencers" that will say or do anything just to get attention...

...foreign and domestic propaganda machines, advertising agencies, scammers... or reliable sources that get fewer like, stars, upvotes, or re-whatevers because their not as much fun as the rest. So you end up with a generation or more, being taught by a the results of a multimillion dollar...

...project that has absorbed all the sarcasm, racism, misogyny, and bile of the previous generation and repeats it with no more filter, imagination, or understanding of the potential of damage that could be done by perpetuating the mistakes of the past than a goldfish.
