Okay, how do they go about this?
Schools are already understaffed as is, how are the teachers suddenly going to have time to revamp the entire educational blueprint? Where is the funding for this revolution in education going to come from when we've just slashed the Education fund?
- ryandrake 1y agoI'm not an educator, so I honestly have no idea. The world has permanently changed though... we can't put the toothpaste back into the tube. Any student, with a few bucks and a few keystrokes, can instantly solve written homework assignments and generate an any-number-of-words essay about any topic. Something needs to change in the education process, but who knows what it will end up looking like?
- usefulcat 1y agoI would think that at least part of the solution would have to involve having students do more work at school instead of as homework.
- jplusequalt 1y agoOkay, and how do you make room for that when there's barely enough time to teach the curriculum as is?
- usefulcat 1y agoObviously something has to give.
- jplusequalt 1y agoThis is what I meant in my other comment. Proponents of AI (not necessarily you) haven't seriously considered how these tools will impact the population. Until they come up with a semblance of a plan, teachers will experience an undue burden to slog through automated schoolwork assignments, cheating, and handle children who lack the critical faculties to be well functioning members of society. It's all very depressing.
