Lorenzo Valente(@LorenzoARK):Could not disagree more. Teaching is one of the professions that has been bastardized the most in our society. Of course, “mediocre” anything is not what you want. But there are exceptional teachers out there. We need to elevate the status of teachers, pay them more, and be much more selective about who gets to teach. And yes, AI will play an important role in the future of education. But I am much more bullish on AI-enabled teachers than AI teachers.

I don’t know but signing my kids up for 9-5 of sitting still in a classroom listening to an at best mediocre teacher explaining some concept on some bad powerpoint slides seems like a kind of terrible idea?
