As the child of an educator and as someone who has also worked in the field of education before, I still believe in the promise and power of tangible, in-person learning between humans. Sure, AI can help provide students with step-by-step instructions regarding how to answer a certain math problem or what a specific amendment means, but teachers add something special that no robot could ever provide.
They know how to push, encourage, challenge, and nurture students to improve their performance in the classroom. They know how instill values that can help shape their perspectives on the world in ways that authority figures in their lives cannot. An automated system cannot fully replace the true value of a teacher, and yet, the kids in this professor’s classroom seemed to rely more on a useless AI product than their own instructor’s guidance.
