Fluff mainly built around trying to push something which has rich elites (regardless of political bent) believing that school shouldn't spend time teaching the skills they don't use because they don't use them. (And by don't use i mean society applauds them for not using rather than they're incapable)
This schooling by design locks out the possibility of world leading medicians, scientists, mathematicians and economists if it ignores learn by rote. Just because repetition is boring doesn't mean it's not essential, and frankly before the age of 18 is when you're most susceptible to getting benefit from that learning.
Same goes for a lot of the new age and home schooling. It's not that that these models can't work. But they're normally fighting against an education system which has been refined for almost 100+ years in the developed world. Instead, the good ones embrace and extend without extinguishing. Just because it has it's faults (it does) doesn't mean you throw out the baby with the bath water.
Then again kids going to such a school are going to be wealthy and connected which in certain strata in society matters more than efficacy or meritocracy (regardless of what is preached).
This nonsense that ML(AI) will be the ultimate recall always is the worst of fluff. It's right behind "terminator". ML systems are at best a great tool on hand for experts because query and verify to them is faster than lookup, then reference and then query is to do manually. That's the point.
And no, not a single ML system has proven reliable outside of a lab context in raw isolated offline fact verification...
