AI Will Set Education Back 2500 Years... And That’s a Good Thing | Robert Clapperton | TEDxUW

[@juliocesarsalazargarcia6872]

People keep forgeting that ChatGpt hallucinates, that is a yet unsolved problem. Also, socratic dialogue depends on good questions, and most students still don't know how to ask GOOD questions without the help of a good guide (that does not hallucinate) and without legit curiosity.

Adding to my former Comment: Most Teens today (I am talking as a father + experience from my wife a High-School Teacher) don´t even know how to use GOOGLE-Search properly (for more than "ticket- event, or product-search). Most of them are lost when it comes to evaluate the ensuing results for their own problem-solving or knowledge enhancement. Now, give them a Tool that is not only a "tool" - but in fact "a magic wand" that is so much smarter than they are, my assumption is, that the magic wand is eventually turning the (student/teacher) relationship upside-down - like it happens in the famous German poem "Der Zauberlehrling" - Alas, today, we don´t have "a Grand Master" that eventually comes around to rescue the "uninitiated apprentice"...

The Prompt is the thing; the ultimate "Show Your Work".

Ai is a great learning tool. It's better than any schools. Nobody says it, but it's true.

[@SrikarKura]

I agree.

[@wikath449]

Sorry - I disagree. (Subject - Object Merge / It is as if you are talking almost to yourself) - yes, if this were not about Education but rather about "S.." I would call it "Mast....". Contrary to what you say, I argue that AI-based learning is mostly for the "100 already engaged students" - the ones who ALREADY talk with you - because for them, it is valuable and complementary. The other 100 (who only show up for the assessment) will not even utilize it. It is too anonymous to even care about it. AI by itself (and its valuable offerings and interactions) will not MOTIVATE (a few) of these loosely-engaged 100. True Learning (imho) is as much about the student/teacher-relationship - or actor/audience-relationship or observer/nature-relationship (i.e. about an Intimacy-feedback loop) - as much as it is about the content itself. And while AI is by its intent, moving the subject-matter-interaction from the "Attention-Level" to the"Intimacy-Level" it is exactly that: an ARTIFICIAL Intimacy. So my assumption is: An Artificial Intimacy will not engage the "non-engaged". It will eventually lead to widening (!) the gap between the educated and the non-educated. the already educated will use it as a complement - and the others will be the AI-slaves.

Excellent point

How do you think we could get around this? Any hypothetical solutions?

[@gregbaker3701]

Scalable Affective Learning algorithms similar to immersion in video games. You can give AI personalities almost indistinguishable from humans. We’ve been interacting with them on social media for years and didn’t even know it.

This brings up the age-old question about the purpose of education. Education has now become a tool the the educated use to manipulate the uneducated instead of empowering them. AI actually is a great way to do this, making education accessible again. People no longer have to dig through heaps of data to get the information they need. It can be simple given to people in the way they understand. It's all about how people utilize the information they have, only then can it truly be meaningful. I think education should now be built upon utilizing this tool, instead of keeping the students from it.

Another person who’s never taught with advice on how to revolutionize our current system. We’ve actually had people like you revolutionizing the model for 20 years at least. Like drastic changes, and it has made schools so much worse. So will AI

[@TheFelixAlabi]

Ai makes personalized learning possible. I don't believe this was possible 2500 years ago
