Super Intelligent AI is here and has changed everything. The change is happening now, jobs soon will be repalced by the AI.

Teachers for one, profession can be replaced, as Lawyers, accountants, and many other well paying white collar jobs. The List is endless.

With these changes come major changes in the Institution of Education, which for the most part has been commercialized with folks just buying PHD's like buying a can of soda at the Local mini mart.

The Plumber, the electrician, the carpenter, the handy man can not be replaced by the AI.

Look at this little snippet from a Bloomberg article.

6. Why are actors and writers worried about AI?

For writers, there are concerns that AI could generate scripts without them. For actors, there are concerns that studios could use AI to replicate previous performances. The Directors Guild of America, which agreed to a new contract with the studios in June, got the companies to agree AI would not replace them. SAG representatives said the studios had offered to pay background actors for just one day’s work, and that their likenesses could then be replicated again and again in a film.

As educators, time to get creative and add some irreplaceable value add.

That's been the individual contribution for generations of teachers, and there remains plenty of opportunity! (A 4th generation educator).

I thought the sky fell on USA edu during COVID.
Is it falling again?

No. What we learned during covid is online teaching doesn't work. If a student signs into an online classroom, he'll likely ignore the lesson. Students will text messaging friends, play computer game or sleep - basically anything, but school work. Teachers are essential for discipline.

My daughter had a number of students who used AI for research papers. Thankfully, there are educational programs which inform teachers if research paper is original work vs AI. If the program said it was AI generated, she allow students to show their research notes and sources as proof of original work. She gave those students time to rewrite those papers.

There will always be ways to cheat! There will always be companies producing anti-cheating programs for big buck. Capitalism for the win!

Passing on knowledge and skills effectively involves a human component. There are the occasional driven, highly intelligent people who can become a polymath just from independent research, but generally people learn much more with an element of engagement with the instructor and with other learners. Even learning how to do something from a resource like youtube involves a parasocial element - the person making the video generally speaks to you like you're friends, takes a conversational tone, etc.

AI is not yet at a level where it can replicate that experience online (and we found out from Covid that online learning doesn't work for a huge percentage of the population) and certainly can't replicate it in person.

The technology is evolving quicker than rules can be made.

AI is being used to generate curriculum, reading assignments, tests, grading tests, sending out emails..by teachers.

Once AI is invented, it's sure to really change things.

Machine learning, which we have now, isn't artificial intelligence.

AI, just like humans, have inherent biases based on the data sets used in its training, and in the human 'handlers' that gauge/control the accuracy of responses during training.

My concern is that these biases will be hidden behind the curtain and that educators and parents will be asked (expected) to trust AI, cuz, computers and really technical stuff.

They already are. You don't have access to the training data.

Here's some insight into training AI.
There is an AI political party formed in Denmark and the owners of this AI hope to get it elected into Denmark's Parliament.

"Leader Lars" is what they named the AI
https://futurism.com/political-party...l-intelligence
Asker Staunæs, the creator of the party and an artist-researcher at the nonprofit art and tech organization MindFuture, told Motherboard that Leader Lars is specifically trained on policies formed by post-1970 Danish fringe parties — and thus, he says, the party is designed to collectively represent the roughly 20 percent of present-day Danish voters whose parties remain unrepresented in parliament.
