Only major problem with this line of thought is it underestimates the challenges of teaching.
Teaching is about more than just providing the material, if that was enough we could have automated teaching a long time ago. A teacher has to be able to understand and diagnose the source of a students confusion, and compose a solution. This is a very complex problem, due to how much individual people vary in their thinking, experiences and knowledge base.
Such as can an LLM tell from the bruises on a child or the sunken shoulders whereas the day before they were bright and cheerful that they are being abused at home and that no amount of tailored teaching plans will help that child except through a keen and perceptive teacher who spots what’s really going on.
And will that abused child feel cared about by a school that thinks an AI and a computer monitor are superior to a human being with empathy?
