But who will screw the students if there are no teachers?

If AI eliminates office jobs then trade jobs would be flooded and the wages would be shite. There is no “winner” besides the already wealthy if AI actually eliminates most of the workforce.

Imagine putting an AI tutor in front of an Orleans Parish class

From my subjective experience, students who abuse AI are terrible at math. I highly doubt these students are learning much

If Covid taught us one thing about education it’s that most students need an adult in the room to learn anything.

Maybe not the smart, self-motivated students but sadly most American school kids aren’t.

40k tuition.

40k, for grade school. A school that uses AI to teach it's students.

That's great for them, but it's those kinds of professions that will be able to afford that, unlike us peasants. Can you imagine having 2 or 3 kids and spending $120k a year on elementary and middle school?

An often pushed narrative by the OT. I've worked with a bunch of plumbers and electricians. I also live in a neighborhood with doctors and lawyers. I keep waiting for one of the plumbers to move in the hood, but it hasn't happened yet.


Who would want to live in a neighborhood surrounded by lawyers?

Sounds like a hellscape.

What jobs will any of us have? Very few of us are truly protected from this.


They say skilled physical labor may be last to go. Plumbing repair, electrical installation, auto mechanics etc.

The straight labor jobs will be done by robots and the heavy memory / mathematical jobs by AI.

Teachers are fricked. Take the ten best Chemistry teachers, and record their lessons. Boom, AI can translate it to every language in nano seconds. Probably will answer any possible question just by downloading the text book and learning the greatest teacher’s mannerisms etc.

It’ll take some time but doctors and lawyers will be replaced as soon as you can get advice from their AI counterparts. I mean we can all get the best advice without any bad days or biases. It’ll be game over for lots of professionals.

It really wouldn’t surprise me if truck drivers are still around simply due to the immense outcry when these things start crashing with 100,000 pounds skidding down the mountain.

People keep saying teachers are screwed. Teachers will be one of the last jobs to survive the AI changes, not the first. Where are you dropping your children off to? A robot school? I think this will affect very little in terms of teacher positions because you still can only have one person watching 20-30 kids at a time, checking on real-life needs during class. Who is the kid asking to use the rest room? Who will be stopping HS kids from ditching school? And for those who say they won't need to go to school to get educated, who is at home with them during the day while they learn?

I’m a teacher. I predict AI will replace brick and mortar education within 15 years. I’ll still be needed to coach football and track, I guess, but probably not much else.


If AI becomes this advanced you won't need to educate people at all.

Both came from very modest backgrounds. One came from Cuba at age 17 (legally) and the other's father was a truck driver from east Tennessee. Both are self made.

I wasn't making any other observations other than that those that make that kind of money can afford it. There's a limited number of even dual income homes that can afford nearly $12k (3 kids) a month in just tuition payments. A single child home is way more reasonable.
