Not to go against the OP, but that headline has to be one of the dumbest framings I've seen in a while.. why would you want to replace human teachers with machines? There are an estimated 250 million kids going without any kind of schooling in the world [1], if AI could provide even the most basic kind of education to them it would be a net benefit.

- wat10000 1y agoIf you want to reach more kids with the same teachers, you need fewer teachers per student. Unbound has more teachers per student, so it's in the opposite direction from that.
