Yeah, but that's not the point I was trying to make. My main point was that traditional thinking is that schools need to fight AI or students won't learn. But I think we'd be better off working with AI instead, customizing education according to each student's interests and needs, providing immediate feedback, etc. And I expect school buildings themselves will still be used, if that wasn't clear. I'm not pitching a "school from home" campaign, not after 2020 forced one on us.
Of course teachers still have a role in maintaining discipline, motivation, and things that computers can't do, as well as validating that the AI systems are behaving correctly for the things they can.
The biggest thing I don't like about that approach is it's yet another bump in screen time, which, eh, if I think hard enough on that aspect, it maybe makes me hate the whole idea, so.
It doesn't work for many reasons. For example it's completely normal for a young people to do things only because they are forced to. It doesn't matter how you customize it, how immediate your feedback is etc. I know that I'd used AI to do a lot of school work without learning anything because why not? Fortunately I hadn't any chance for that in seventies. And who/what determines each student's interests and needs? And is it even OK to align for these? I can very confidently say that if my school would align to my specific interests and needs back then, I'd be dead by now. I wouldn't have knowledge and experience to survive changing times.
