Yet another comment on how AI will support online learning assistants. "This post discusses advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and microinteractions as we read online." The interesting remark (and I actually remember this) was when people were asking, in the early days, whether online reading even counted as 'reading'. But my main point centres around this remark: "One thing appears to be true at this early point, AI will not substitute for the human connections and emotional aspects of learning. AI will not replace teachers and educators." How does this 'appear to be true'? Is there even a shred of evidence that supports this? I ask this especially in view of the fact that not all human interactions are benign. Emotional abuse, unfair grading, discrimination and prejudice - all these and more are common experiences for students. Don't be so sure AI won't replace 'human connections'. A lot of people out there are wishing it would. Related: Khanmigo, Khan Academy's AI-powered guide.
