  • The first sentence of this comment says everything. If a technology that is still ironing out its capabilities is able to get kids almost to the level of in-person instruction, think of the potential when used in tandem with teachers, or even when it has matured into a polished version of itself.

    How many of these kids knew how to leverage a GPT while avoiding common pitfalls? Would they have performed even better if given info on creating prompts for studying?

    LLMs/GPT, and other forms of the AI boogeyman, are all just a tool we can use to augment education when it makes sense. Just like the introduction of calculators or the internet, AI isn’t going to be the easy button, nor is it going to steal all teacher’s jobs. These tools need to be studied, trained for, and applied purposely in order to be most effective.

    EDIT: Downvoters, I’d appreciate some engagement on why you disagree.
