As an educator, I disagrees on many levels. Firstly, schools babysit YOUR kids. Most people couldn't do their jobs, meaningful or otherwise, without them. Two, schools are about socialism and human connection, something AI can't provide. Whilst your experience might be different, a good school will educate beyond say science and maths, and teach values, ethics, drug and alcohol awareness, sex education etc etc. fourthly, big tech has entered schools before. Where it fails is it never can replace the passion of human teachers that drive and foster curiosity, which is the centre of learning. Whilst I concede not all educators can do this, perhaps money and time should be spent on excellent teacher training. Lastly, AI has yet to prove it's not wrong 100 percent of the time. It often tells us what we want to hear rather than engage with us honestly. Kids are already using AO to supplement their learning, but the trick is teaching them to use it wisely - students are still learning to be discerning, to understand where vested interest lies (are there safeguards to companies embedding AI with bias??), to know when AI is bending them in one direction, to understand legitimate sources, let alone navigate human relationships. I really protest against such a shallow and clearly bitter view of education as it stands ... Whilst the model doesn't serve every one, and has its failings, it's the best we have got and teachers work so hard to support and better students. To say AI can and should replace them is simplistic at best.
