It was right there with flying cars and domed cities on the moon. That was part of the whole Disneyworld/OMNI Magazine promise about life in the year 2000.

How will this take place when kids won’t even respect a substitute teacher let alone an AI generated personality?

Actually, your kids will be taught dependency on proprietary corporate software that spies on them and conditions them into corporate vendors walled gardens in order to a create lifelong customers (+ data mining sources) in order to enrich giant tech corporations.

Ideally, your kids would be taught genuine computer literacy so that they can be digitally self sufficient but that is never going to happen in a school setting.

Here’s an unrelated picture of a North American wood ape:

and the computers they ARE given are so locked down to the point where the subject material is blocked and you can’t do the lesson the teacher has assigned for years before. Literally had that happen well over a dozen times in the last 3.5 years of hs

edit: just remembered the time someone got assigned to make a PowerPoint about boobytraps. Didn’t go well lol

You don’t hate the computer teaching. You hate the corporate owner of said computer teaching.

No, it’s more than that. A computer, at least until we develop some sort of AGI, has no compassion, no understanding of human emotions, no actual awareness of who it is teaching.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct-----
