> But I believe technology is the future of education. Instead of having many, many classes of like ~10-50 students with underpaid/overworked/mistreated teachers, some of who are much better than others, we rely on services like Khan Academy. Not even services with an AI, just pre-planned learning modules, and then we can keep a human tutor for those who need extra for whatever reason (e.g. curiosity, more help).

In other words, the future you believe in is one where we lock kids in a cubicle to stare at a screen all day in a warehouse, with a break for recess and lunch? Where the message is, we care so little that we can't even bother to allocate one real person to regularly talk to you?

I mean, if we’re talking about the hypothetical far future, who said anything about screens?

These AIs will be direct fed into our brains soon enough. Who knows or cares that the entity you’re talking to is an AI if it’s indistinguishable from a real person?
