You have to be careful not to put AI's judgment over your own, otherwise you will create an Idol. The real truth is still within us, and I can imagine it being hard for kids to realize this if not properly taught by their parents. AI may seem intelligent, but it's not, and I don't think it will ever match up to humans, despite many predictions to the contrary. Anyone who has ever explored spirituality should know that there is something greater, unexplainable.
I have had these negative experiences with AI myself. Getting confused because I took AI's suggestions too seriously. You must always be aware that AI is a tool that is meant to serve you, and you are the thinker, the real intelligence, and that is not only in your brain but also in your body.
So, will AI really turbocharge education? It will change it. Definitely. But only if teachers and then children find a responsible way to use it. Not if humans cannot first discover the true powers within themselves. If you fall for that trap and turn AI into a postmodern Idol, you will be enslaved by it.
AI helping with education makes sense when you think about it - we know a mediocre teacher teaching one-on-one will do better than a fantastic teacher teaching a class of 30.
It is simply the economics didn't work out for everyone to have their own personal tutor and now they do.
What are they even going on about? You can ask the AI questions. You can' ask a retarded boomer teacher anything. We've all been to school. If you ask the AI what can you use the information for, it's going to give you a very good and informative answer. I've yet to see a teacher doing this. At this point school is just a case of the lunatics running the asylum.
Getting rid of mass schooling is good no matter what.
I used AI to learn a new programming language and didn't read any literature on it, just used previous knowledge and AI explaining errors and i worked it out faster and more productively than if i had read and made test projects.
My knowledge is incomplete, but will be easy to buff out with reading later.
However, using AI to be productive I've found there is an over-brain and under-brain working together
If you are the under brain, you will lose ability. If you are the over-brain you just do more project management work "checking your junior" for that constant "mistakes" it makes.
I am using AI to learn a new language and they way it has infinte patience with my own specific cognitive limitations has been a supercharger. What i anticipate is future models that will be able to listen to my pronounciation and correct me until it sounds right. I guess these models already exists but i havent found them for this specific language.
It's great for learning. I'm teaching myself logic and the ability to ask it endless questions and have it ask you test questions really helps shorten the learning curve.
Yes, AI *can* supercharge education. It's something of an antidote to social justice. While social justice applies a mental "governor" on high ability individuals, reducing cognitive processing speed by a standard deviation or two, the AI's are giving many of us the ability to tap a "peer" who communicates at our level for the first time.
I see most complaints about AI coming from gatekeepers and bridge trolls trying to find anything to deflect blame for the results of their dogged selection of unsuitable people for training that doesn't stick and for roles they can't fulfill.
Yes, it's AI that's made them suddenly dull. Only a midwit would suggest this. Only a nitwit would believe it.
It makes sense. Students can ask an AI Tutor any question about a subject and then follow that line of question until the curiosity is satisfied.
Tangentals also factor in here. A student might want to explore a facet, say biographical information on a single reference, and AI will be able to do so. Maybe AI can tie the info into the original topic.
"The end of conventions mass schooling". This is a desirable outcome. Confiscate the Universities and schools and sell the land. Land prices will fall, which will make things far more affordable. Make parents responsible, as they were, show them where the tools are, and stand back. I expect private tutoring will take off.
Then get your bright kids apprenticeships with General Practitioners in Law and Medicine and Theology. Make them pass an exam to qualify. The second destruction of the monasteries of the corrupt secular state will cause more benefit than Henry VIII did in Tudor England.
"The end result, I suspect, is that AI means the end of conventional mass-schooling as we’ve known it for the last 175 years."
Definitely some truth there. So far, though, while AI education may beat classroom instruction in some ways, it still leaves a lot to be desired.
Our transition from straight, book and pencil-based homeschooling to some AI classes for our 9th-grader this year was eye-opening. He was taking it for coding and English, but whoever is in charge of the source material for the system apparently skipped some of the basic rules of grammar. It does not fully understand how quotes work even when that's part of an assignment. It also seems to be geared toward teaching students to write like a bafflegarbing grad student who uses excessive polysyllabic words and run-on sentences in order to annihilate meaning instead of expressing anything with simple clarity. Or like Benjamin Franklin, but even there it had a lot of helpful suggestions for how he could improve his writing.
It's early days. Hopefully things will improve as more families turn to AI to provide some of the education that they are unable or unwilling to teach themselves, but I don't hold out a lot of hope. In order to see where it's wrong, the parents must be both paying attention and capable of recognizing errors when they are encountered. Given that a lot of teachers can't even tell does not provide much confidence. This should be an area where competition will yield strong results over time, but we live in Clown World, so who knows.
AI has super charged my employees to the degree that I explicitly expect major decisions to be double and triple checked with AI. If 3 AI come to the same conclusion you are generally good to go for work related tasks not creative.
If one of the AI is off compared to the other two, it forces the worker to figure out what went wrong.
For most people under 115 IQ, they will likely be more prone to error than 3 AIs in consensus.
I have the impression that when double checking between AI's its always the best practice to not let the "fact checking" AI know that it is correcting another AI. At least once for me the fact checking went different when ChatGPT believed it was checking a teacher, Grok or me as a student. As if ChatGPT valued the same statement different based on the alleged source of the statement.

And what if we had our own virtuous AI models to use in our Homeschool Co-ops?
Here's a beta test for Cosmarch:

I’m so glad I had my first baby at the perfect time. After the plandemic and just in time to reap all the benefits of the home school revolution
It's great for learning. I'm teaching myself logic and the ability to ask it endless questions and have it ask you test questions really helps shorten the learning curve.
Sadly, I think the study reflects more about the knowledge workers than it does about GenAI.

It will supercharge the 1 in 10 who have any self motivation.
It can check for error in 4 in 10 mediocres.
5 in 10 will just use it for porn or a stand in girlfriend.
Nothing of value was lost.
It will quanitify the truth that most people should not be educated. It does little to nothing for them.

This MIT study is trying to do the same thing. Neither I, nor a smart HS student I’m working with found it compelling.
