I've found Kahn pretty good, but do they use AI? As in LLMs, or just nural nets? And what does it tweak?
I preferred Khan when it had the knowledge web. Not everyone jives with gamification or personalization.
yeah that's what i expect from the state that produced kari lake.
lol those kids are fucked
yeah but the white ones will be able to vote
Yes and no. It really depends on the model.
The newest Claude Sonnet I'd probably guess will come in above average compared to the humans available for a program like this in making learning fun and personally digestible for each student.
The newest Gemini models could literally cost kids their lives.
The gap between what the public is aware of (and even what many employees at labs, including the frontier ones) and the reality of just how far things have come in the last year is wild.
I can see how this might be true if an AI can respond to individual cues from a single kid, which a teacher can't reliably do because they have to look after 30 kids at once.
I'm skeptical that those cue responses will be reasonable though. Maybe in the mean, but I reckon there's gonna be some wild and potentially traumatic edge cases.
This seems like a great machine to create republican voters, purposefully undereducated and perpetually frightened - the school to joe rogan pipeline

Imagine the AMAZING individuals that must make up this group.
In its Arizona application, Unbound says its bold claims about how much its students will learn are based on the experiment it’s running on students in Texas, inspired by Elon Musk.
The cancer that had metastasized to all systems
"This ensures that each student is consistently challenged".
They will be challenged alright.
I also think this sucks massively, yet the possibility of a well made curriculum focused on one Person dies sound enticing. So much less time wasted on stuff one child has no problems with vs another that's just stuck at some logical step. Ofc no social interaction is such a big - it almost can't be fixed.
Yeah, I want to hate it (and I do) but the idea is great. It's just that there's no way in hell the AI is doing the same job as a teacher. It'd also be very hard to tell if it's working correctly. Who's going to tell them it's not? The student?
I do think we need to modify our educational system to better suit people with different needs, but this should be through increased funding for more teachers, not AI to increase profits.
murricans....
I learned a whole year of highschool math in a week of holiday with KhanAcademy. Owned-paced curriculum would make school interesting for smart children and improve overall education. However it must be done wisely
