    I actually don’t get the general hate for AI (EDIT: for education) here.

    To be clear, I don’t think AI-assisted learning in this specific way is a great idea, but for people wo were taught to be sceptic of what LLMs produce learning with LLMs can actually be kind of great. You can ask it very specific or even “dumb” questions and it will explain in great detail and spend way more “time” with your individual questions than a teacher normally could, leading to you being able to learn at your own pace. Also, from my experience as a student current LLMs are better at explaining than the average teacher is.

    Overall, I think our education system is largely outdated and schools of the future won’t look like one teacher explaining and 25 people more or less not listening and I suspect a more individualistic way with supportive teacher roles will lead to better education over all.

      you’re identical to the other poster in both tone and content so either you’re using the same LLM to write your posts or you’re otherwise extremely familiar with each other. either way we don’t particularly need you here, but before you go:

      one day you’ll hopefully grow old enough to realize how lazy this shit looks to other people

        Sorry, what exactly do you mean by looking lazy? Who looks lazy & why? “Grow old enough” seems mildly like a personal insult given I just shared that I’m still in school, which classically comes with prejudice in the web, so I don’t think it’s really advantageous to the diversity of discourse here to attack someone in a way that could be interpreted to be related only to them sharing their age.

      Yeah, but there’s 0 guarantee that it explains you anything factual or if it just makes shit up, either fully or partially. LLMs are absolutely not suited for this, which with them used as search engines and fact checkers has already shown. Teaching a bunch of generations possible false things and to rely on the word of machines that are just pretending to know things is just a terrible idea.

      VR assisted teaching could be cool though, as there’s a lot of additional tools that could be used in a digital space. But I don’t see this becoming the norm, considering how expensive HMDs alone already are, let alone all the other equipment needed. People in many places already struggle affording the needed school books & general school stuff like blogs and pencils and teachers everywhere are almost always out of budget for their classes too.
