Even as it is now, I could see it being good for some kids.

I certainly could’ve benefitted from a guided, fully-self-paced curriculum. I was bored off my ass in high school.

Like this, you could teach an entire high school and have a teacher:student ratio of like 1:200. Really just need SMEs annd a big computer lab, and that’s it.

But it’s definitely not for everyone. Most kids need more hands-on, especially with new topics. And there has to be human oversight (humans writing exams/quizzes and intervening if the AI is incorrect or ineffective).

have you asked an AI how to bake a cake?

It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.

You gotta do the cooking by-the-book.
