School leaders believe pairing AI and life skill courses is the future of education.
Alpha private school leaders believe AI learning paired with life skill courses will be the standard for modern schools in the future. The school doesn’t have teachers but instead uses what it calls “guides.”
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?
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 signs of dissent.
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.
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.
Second paragraph addressed that this simply isn’t an actual issue.
“Go write an op-ed on all the great profits to be made”
Seems a little an unusual that someone who thinks profits are somewhat immoral (unless redirected towards beneficial goals), is characterised as hyper-capitalist or “management type” simply for pointing out that the narrative of people becoming impoverished due to an increasingly exploitative labor market simply isn’t true.
“We don’t have teachers,” said Alpha private school cofounder MacKenzie Price. “Now, what we do have is a lot of adults who are in the room engaging with these kids, working as coaches. So they’re helping the kids get clear on what are some goals that they’re working on, what are they doing academically? What are they interested in? How can we really turn on that spark for learning?”
So they have teachers, they just aren’t calling them that. Maybe they’re not specialized or have the proper training, but they’re still acting as teachers. Probably trying to fuck over the trained teachers though. That’s our national sport.
So the premise of the Dune series is the Butlerian Jihad, where humans destroyed all "thinking machines" and declared that no machine would ever be made in the likeness of a human mind again. That's why everything's analogue, humans that can do computing in their head, etc.
But unlike what one might think, they didn't destroy thinking machines because AI robots had taken over (though his son Brian Herbert missed that memo). They destroyed thinking machines because, after humans had created AI, they were happy to offload any and all responsibilities and decisions. Humans turned to AI to make any decision, and at a certain point AI ran the galaxy, not because it had taken over, but because humans couldn't be bothered. They stopped learning, they stopped innovating, they stopped doing the things core to being humans.
So as I watch humans hand over more and more tasks and control to AI, apparently including teaching their children, I expect we're heading to the same crossroads at some point.
Computers make excellent servants, they take orders well and do exactly what they’re told to do. I can’t even imagine how it could possibly “teach” anyone anything.
“AI is a powerful technology that can enhance the learning experience for school children, but it cannot replace teachers entirely. AI can help with some aspects of teaching, such as personalizing instruction, providing feedback, creating content, and analyzing data. However, AI cannot provide the human touch that teachers can, such as mentoring, facilitating, empathizing, and inspiring students. Teachers are also essential for teaching students how to use AI responsibly and ethically, and how to think critically about its impact on society.
Therefore, the answer to your question is no, AI cannot teach school children without teachers. AI can be a useful tool for teachers and students, but it cannot substitute for the human element that is vital for education. Teachers and AI can work together to create a better learning environment for school children.”
You can program AI you see, not as simple programing real flesh and blood human beings who care about education as they're the only ones stupid enough to accept the meager pay, stress, and vilification needed to survive in that field.
