Not when everyone gets an A!

Traditionally, these pilot programs operate as a marketing program rather than an educational program.

You're going to see a class of students enter the system with enormous supplemental aid and resources. The AI will be included but largely incidental. The students will be cherry-picked for media optics, rather than randomly selected from within the school district. Tons of paid professionals will write long-winded hagiographies about the affordability and effectiveness of the program. Some Ivy League University or Fortune 500 business will make a big show of admitting the most charismatic and saleable student graduates.

Then the program will be rolled out to the rest of the country as quickly and sloppily as possible. AI will be jammed down people's throats. You'll get an earful about stupid idiot parents hysterically complaining about their dumb baby children, because they're afraid of The Terminator movies. This will be book-ended with Steven Pinker and Bill Gates calmly explaining how AI turns dumbies into geniuses. A string of movies and TV shows will be released about kids getting AI education and becoming too smart (and time traveling or getting magic powers or some other silly bullshit).

The YIMBY coalition of very informed TV nerds will be assembled to scream at anyone who doesn't like AI. We'll get an earful about how certain migrants and POCs are incapable of learning from AI because of their inferior genes.

And all of this will culminate in more school privatization, more public education defunding, and more militant policing of young people. Because that's always been the real end goal.

Influence them early on to love Palantir, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.

America's got a bad habit with this. We already see what happened after the last 20 years of "no child kept behind": now we have Trump.

It'll probably cost more then just using teachers too.

I’ve helped picked up the pieces after similar “educations” and it’s bad. Teaching adults how to carry in addition or the concept of a variable. High school students that don’t have their times tables.

Education is a fundamental human right. The Right has been working to strip it in the US since Brown v Board of Ed.

Which is obvious to anyone who has read theory about how we learn.

The right amount of struggle is critical to learning. When I tutor or teach, I don’t just give them the fucking answer, which is what AI does. With AI, there’s no tolerance for confusion or having to process things - it’s just type in the question and copy/paste the answer.

There’s just a fundamental ignorance of learning here with the push for AI - as if knowledge is just a list of facts.

Yep! Parents can pay to have their child kidnapped and tortured. Fuckers like Dr Phil even broadcast kids getting shipped off to rape camp to audience applause.

The US refused to sign the UN convention on the rights of the child. There’s really an understanding that parents own their children. You can deny schooling (my brother was “homeschooled” for years - he played video games and jerked off while my mom nodded on benzos -and my attempts to get intervention were laughed off), you can deny medical care (how many dead JW kids from the blood transfusion bullshit?), do anything short of causing obvious bodily harm.

Child liberation is a necessary civil rights movement.
