[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8868941, member: 22779"] The whole notion of the singularity was predicated on this. I mean, heck, I'm teaching English to Japanese student. Language teaching is going to go the way of the buggy whip in very short order. I've always known that this was coming - the only question was could I retire first. Which, I think I will be able to. But, like the SF singularity, any prediction we're making today is very likely wrong. Think about something as simple as teaching. Most classrooms, from about, what, 5th grade into university, base significant chunks of the grading on reports, essays, that sort of thing. Right now they have AI's that can write essays that are certainly good enough for a passing grade, even at the undergraduate level. To the point that I have an AI program that will check essays to tell me if they have been written by an AI. :p But, that's not sustainable. Which means, IMO, we're going to have to go back to Socratic style classrooms where the majority of the grading and evaluation is done face to face, in class (or possibly screen to screen for remote learning, but, you get my point). But, who's going to pay for that? Even in the stone ages when I went to university, some of my classes had over 200 students. I cannot imagine it's any better now. Are we suddenly going to spend five or ten times more money on education than we are now? Good luck with that. AI assisted learning? Like I said, any prediction that anyone is making today is just spitting in the wind. No one has the slightest idea what things will look like in 10 years. Heck, the first Iphone was only 15 years ago. Let that sink in a minute. 20 years ago, no smart phones. Now, we cannot even imagine life without one. Do you really think you could have predicted the rise of the smart phone in, say, 1998? Hell, we still had beepers back then. The rate of change just increases every year. [/QUOTE]
