    It doesn’t really matter what other products the company makes.
    But a teacher is one if the least AI-able jobs I think. There’s no way this will work.

      Good thing children follow directions and are so bad with technology. This plan is foolproof!

      Definetely worst.

      It will specifically talk in a context where the human cannot tell if it’s hallucinating or not.

      Also it will be used by thousands of people consequently for 8 hours straight so we can speedrun climate change I guess.

        I’m going to assume this thing would run a model locally because the alternative would be insane, especially if you’re doing it to reduce the costs relative to hiring a teacher. And if it’s running a local model, then it’s at worst speed running climate change as much as a similarly-long gaming session.

        Which is probably the future of embodied AI in practical situations - running a local model in an appropriately designed robot body to the task domain at hand. If for no other reason than because in real applications you’re not going to want response time relying on network turnaround for any important task, or most tasks that involve interacting with the physical world in general.

        LLMs are always hallucinating. That’s how they function. It pulls something that’s probably coherent from literal random noise and techbros pretend it was “thinking”, then when the result is something undesirable, they act like it made a “mistake”. Don’t buy into their bullshit.

      There’s no way it will give kids an adequate education…

      But that’s not exactly been the goal of the American public school system since No Child Left behind almost 30 years ago.

      Our public education system has been under attack for generations while the wealthy go to private schools and ivy leagues.

      And people act surprised when 18 year olds voted trump.

      Kids don’t magically become functional adults because of what a calendar says, someone needs to teach them to act right.

      least AI-able jobs

      It looks like it to the parents and the board, which is all that matters. Most of them don’t ever see the hours of putting together a curriculum, or answering questions, or grading essays and putting homework together and trying to keep kids interested. They just remember (wrongly) “well you get up and talk about stuff from a book, what if we fed that book to a machine and it said that stuff instead for the price of your salary, once.”
