In your first comment I thought you were talking about teaching. Now It seems your main point is about diagnostics. I don’t dispute that both are intertwinned, but my reply to you was about „you can replace 90% of teachers“ with ai.

One of the strong areas of school is the in-person-interaction part of learning that can not be easily replaced by ai.




I'm not talking about the good schools in the suburbs. I'll just leave it at that. Your typical school America cannot provide the level of education an AI can, and that will be more and more true. So many kids are literally left behind, believe that.


If I understand correctly you are proposing to cut the teaching staff in the typical schools in the US to 10%, this 10% are there to place the students in front of the ai that makes the kids smarter?


I was thinking not even that. I was thinking just a dedicated staff of proctors to ensure no cheating during exams. Along with that, we can introduce psychologists for social/psychological support. But yes, the K-12 teachers as we know them need to go as they are wildly inadequate given the current state of technology.
