This is a question that is never going to go away (until, perhaps, the answer turns out to be 'yes') because there's no foreseeable limit on what the capacities of an AI could be. But of course if you ask the question just the right way you can perhaps tweak the reader's intuitions. For example, consider asking it this way: "The question becomes how AI can be implemented in the classroom to leverage the best it has to offer and not completely diminish the human side of education." Then set up an seemingly impossible standard: "the best and only way AI tutors will be adopted and accepted is if interactions with AI tutors are seamless and if there is trust that the information shared is accurate."
