I understand why teachers are so resistent to the idea of AI teachers; it's hard to believe an AI could do what they do, and the use of an AI to address the problems of the profession smacks of tech solutionism. But as Donald Clark correctly points out, what we're trying to support with AI is learning, not teaching. "The Universal Teacher is not a teacher at all, it is the learner learning from the cultural achievements from the past. The Universal teacher is us being taught by our own hivemind, a supermind. This is not a mind like ours but it does mediate what we already know so that we can all progress. We can all be in this together. We are being taught by our collective self and that may be the fundamental beauty of this idea."
