I really really feel that every temptation to do a "cool idea + AI" play should have a good amount of consideration for whether it'll cut jobs. This can play out in two ways: - Teachers free up time/make time to give more personal tutoring to kids - Teachers do this but schools start hiring fewer of them in the expectation of doing more I don't think you will find anywhere on earth where teaching is a job with a great job market, perks or benefits. It's underpaid, underappreciated and understaffed. People wielding AI like a bulldog at a glass store should be more mindful of the socioeconomics. But I'm not gonna hold my breath for that.

That's the broken window fallacy. "Why fix the system if it provides jobs?" - so they can do more valuable jobs.

As a counter point, I think Singapore is a good example of well-educated, appreciated and well-paid teachers in public and private schools. Even starting at kindergarten. Education is on a different importance level there both for the government and its citizens. I was surprised to see the relatively high salary in Luxemburg, Germany and Switzerland, too: https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/education-at-a-glance-2021_bc0586e8-en#page4 https://read.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/education-at-a-glan...
