theres a lot of hope in the educational AI space that we can do personalized teaching and essentially raise everybody to the 90+ percentile implied by the 2 sigma problem (see https://lspace.swyx.io/p/chatgpt-gpt4-hype-and-building-llm https://lspace.swyx.io/p/chatgpt-gpt4-hype-and-building-llm 20 min mark - disclaimer its my podcast with openai's new representative)
i think this is a "last mile" type situation where we've seen great progress with ChatGPT on the first 90%, but the last mile will take the remaining 90% to do. not impossible, just won't come anywhere as soon or as easily as people want. still worth pursuing ofc, but not as a quick hustle but more if you are just intensely insightful and passionate about education and figure out how to apply AI to personalize it properly
- bee_rider 4y agoSince ChatGPT often writes untrue statements, it seems like quite a poor teacher. I guess it could be used as an assist for an instructor (send me a question, chat GPT will answer it, I’ll check the output) but that seems not so revolutionary.
