On Teaching and AI

AI isn't as good a teacher as a human being. It's just human beings have to be taught how to teach. Basically, a teacher listens to 30 people explain a concept, and condenses all of it into a simpler form, that is more concrete, so a student can understand it. Which we need people to do, because AI has a habit of hallucinating and drawing incorrect information from bad sources. I heard one AI try to say that Pushkin was black. Which was hilarious, but it drew that from a poorly researched website. It just can't curate information, or innovate it. It only does what its programming allows.
