Arizona School’s Curriculum Will Be Taught by AI, No Teachers (gizmodo.com)

By a 4-3 margin, the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools on Monday approved an application from Unbound Academy to open a fully online school serving grades four through eight. Unbound already operates a private school that uses its AI-dependent “2hr Learning” model in Texas and is currently applying to open similar schools in Arkansas and Utah.

Under the 2hr Learning model, students spend just two hours a day using personalized learning programs from companies like IXL and Khan Academy. “As students work through lessons on subjects like math, reading, and science, the AI system will analyze their responses, time spent on tasks, and even emotional cues to optimize the difficulty and presentation of content,” according to Unbound’s charter school application in Arizona. “This ensures that each student is consistently challenged at their optimal level, preventing boredom or frustration.”

Spending less time on traditional curriculum frees up the rest of students’ days for life-skill workshops that cover “financial literacy, public speaking, goal setting, entrepreneurship, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving,” according to the Arizona application.

Most movies released today could be written by AI and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

This is the worst take I've ever read on Lemmy.

Do you hate cinema? WTF is this garbage? Imagine saying this about art, or anything written from the heart. What on earth?

We don't need coffee. They invented instant!

Thank goodness for VR. Now I don't need to travel!

Thanks, Ai girlfriend, you look cute today, too!

Naaaaaaah. This is a slippery slope, my guy. We aren't doing this.

Fffffffff. Spoken like someone raised by bullshit.

Yeah, I mean you could get gpt or something to write you a movie script. Maybe even get it to give you points on lighting, shots, etc. It definitely wouldn't be close to a good film though, and probably some nonsense uncanny valley shit.

I don't think AI will replace human creativity when it comes to art. It's soulless. I know that's a subjective judgement but it's one I think almost all of us would make.

I take it you like marvel movies.

I did until they decided that every character needed to be Tony Stark, be overly meta, mug for the camera, and just completely fail to take any god damn thing seriously for even a fucking minute.

Actually, man. I appreciate the level of effort that goes into that sort of production. I do find a lot to enjoy in the thrillride aspect and the sheer amount of work that goes into them

Sorry I didn't conform to your generalization.

But I consider that entertainment entirely separate from being on the edge of my seat in terror for a frail woman in a cabin being antagonized by a metaphor for Satan, grief or loss in a film that cost as much as as one Cybertruck.

Sorry I didn’t conform to your generalization.

What? You're fitting right in with my expectations.

I could've been an absolute prude about it, but there is viable effort, set design, costuming, and work.

It's written like ass, but hey, trash in, trash out.
