He's probably right that a so-called-AI software can assist a teacher in making sure all students get to be on the same page. With the unreliability of models today though I would be more concerned with the crap hallucinating wrong math formulae or the Italian-Zimbabwean War of 1647. This needs tight supervision by professionals. But in his defense, he was just shooting the breeze and didn't give a time frame. In a decade this scenario might look less wacko. But we also thought we'd be fizzing around in flying cars already.
What else is he gonna say though? They pivoted hard into it, of course he's gonna sing the praises. In other news, water is wet.
In my experience, the courses on DL are getting worse. Erratic changes, mistakes, etc. I'm just not ready to kiss my 1000 day streak goodbye yet!
BIG nope to this. Source: I teach at a university. AI actively hinders my teaching. 99% of my students use AI and I have to constantly fight it or correct it. My job would be easier without AI.
I hear you. I just would like to point out von Ahn wasn't talking about today. He's looking at a future where some of these tools actually deliver on their promises. I understand why you're skeptical and frankly so am I. But there is a chance he might prove us wrong in our lifetimes.
