When the article is talking about AI helping people learn, I don't think that's about AI's creating shortcuts and doing work for us. I think it's talking about bespoke lessons devised by AI to maximixe the potential of each student's innate abilities. We already know that spaced repitition can help us learn things faster. What if we got exactly the optimal amount of spaced repitition in all our subjects because the syllabus was designed for us by our AI tutor? What if the tutor knew the kinds of topics that kept us most engaged, what if the tutor was infinitely patient and would never get tired of explaining points that we were having a particularly hard time with? What if the tutor knew exactly when we needed a break, and when to double up on the homework? What if the tutor could tell if we were falling behind before we realized it ourselves, and adjusted things accordingly without us ever knowing?
