    So… you’re saying that a positive learning environment is better than a terrible one? The AI part is ancillary to the scenarios you set up, isn’t it?

    “AI is better than having the student learn in a terrible learning environment.”

    “A homeless alcoholic is a better language teacher than having a student learn in a classroom whilst being beaten about the head with a stick.”

    You’re saying AI is better than a bad teacher. Maybe a bad AI is worse than a bad teacher, and maybe a good teacher is better than the best AI. I just don’t know how setting up such a comparison is constructive.

          They didn’t say “hating their subject”. They said “might not like their syllabus”, which could just mean they’d prefer a different syllabus.

            Huh. My cousin is a professor, and my best friend is a high school teacher. They’re both responsible for developing their curriculum. That’s only an n=2, but it’s 100% that if they (the people I know) hate their curriculum, it’s their own damned fault.
