A clearer sentence would have been: going to have to teach it to force wait times, because kids don’t want to have to sit there and figure it out. They want to say “can you explain it to me,“ until it gives them the answer, and they can get this shit done as quickly as possible.

This also is something I’m sure it could be programmed in. It’s not a critique, it’s an observation.

I’m actually more curious about what these kids might be going to school for in ten years, when most educated fields are contracting (often due to AI) and a bunch of Gen Xers and Millennials with experience-focused resumes are hen-sitting the best positions and waiting out the final lap to retirement.

Khan Academy has already leveraged the ChatGPT API for their own product. I frankly wonder when OpenAI starts cannibalizing its own revenues by adding features that their enterprise customers are already building out.
This is the exact business model of all big tech. Starve the competition.

I've heard my wife's son, who is in 8th grade, and his friends complain about how much physical writing they have to do in class now thanks to AI.

The ACLU is on the case. I'm sure they are equally as excited by other examples of state sponsored religious displays.

Data from Montgomery County MD (school system budget $3.3B) on geometry proficiency in 8th graders. Distance learning was an absolute catastrophe for students and they still haven’t recovered :

When I see claims that early education has improved for say, those with Down Syndrome that now some can get BAs, is this what's going on? But for IEPs, would any of those with such disabilities actually be graduating a properly functioning high school? No Child Left Behind (amongst other legislation) and its consequences...

We may have gone over this at some point, but how could 'merit based pay' for teachers possibly work?
