Backed by tech money, entrepreneur MacKenzie Price is growing a network of private K–12 schools that promises to replace all classroom teachers with an “AI tutor” that students learn from while glued to their laptop screens.

Let's replace influencers with nothing.

But that wouldn't change anything at all!

I'm not even convinced that an "AI tutor" is better than nothing.

Probably better than sitting in a room staring at a blank wall. But, is it even as good as playing with lego? Playing tag with friends? Drawing with crayons? Taking a pet for a walk?

No way rich people are using this shit on their own kids.

No, their Kids Will get private teacher. It's just the slaves that get the ai.

Hey that's just Brian. Easy mistake to make.

When will we replace influencers with AI? Seems to generate equal amounts of slop.

[-] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 5 points 1 month ago

That's exactly what Google is trying to do on YT with Veo 3 and the 'AI slop' button.

I know you're just making a snide remark, but we're already well on that track too.

I still wonder to this day if this thing (Neuro-sama) isnt just a really elaborate mechanical turk setup.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

A tech backed moron, FTFY.

What if he just want some of the sweet, sweet VC money but realizes this will never actually happen?

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Just to be clear: this is about the USA.

Austin, Texas–based influencer and entrepreneur shares of students at her dozen or so K-12 schools, a ten-year-old boasts that he is a successful Airbnb manager, while another constructs a miniature Cybertruck.

Translation: how can I get in on this "pulling up the ladder after me" stuff that the educated rich people do?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What could possibly go wrong?

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

First, replace the influencers with AI. Then shut down the AI. Do us all two favors.
