AI will revolutionize education, anyone will be able to master any subject

Submitted by LevelWriting t3_zug8q0 in singularity

I think soon enough we will all have our personal teacher regarding any subject, with the help of ai and ar glasses. Not only being able to talk with the teacher via voice, but it able to demonstrate the teachings via ar, projecting examples, facts, corrections to your environment. For example you could be trying to draw a person, and it can show you what you got right vs what needs to be adjusted. This will completely eliminate the entire education system, especially the expensive ones where people pay crazy sums just to have a master teach them one on one. In regards to artists, yes there will be more ai generated art but also, there will be way more people very skilled at traditional art too. A lot of the artstation artists who are busy protesting actually got there because they had the privilege of being able to afford the best education. almost all the top ones have gone to super expensive schools and most will leverage that and offer expensive "education" of their own, aka dog shit tutorials on gumroad. some do have great education, but it does cost a lot. ai education will be the great equalizer so anyone willing will be able to learn it. imagine being in a completely virtual theatre class, how fun! Growing up I really wanted to pursue art but couldnt afford it so had to go a different route. Also so many kids are stifled by their parents to pursue something for security, and end up hating their life. when the world runs mostly by ai, people wont have to dictate what they study due to fear. Future generations will be able to get world class education anytime and I think this will bring great change to this world.

with endless courses online for any subject at a cheap price, education is already widely available. The problem is that credentials get you the job. If I wanted to be a software developer, I could learn to code in a year. Instead I have to spend 4-6 years getting a bachelors because that gets you the interview. Luckily ill be done in may.

Credentials are over. AI will interview people and determine their ability far more accurately than a post secondary credential asserts.

Nah. If an AI is able to effectively interview candidates, then there's no point in candidates anymore.

Don't know how you reached this conclusion. Interviewing candidates is only one of the many, many things humans can do.

Besides, we already have AI interviewing candidates to some extent.

Yeah the ai will just do the job itself

IMO credentials only really exist for the benefit of people in the business of selling credentials. No industry has credentials when it first comes into existence. Over time, optional credentials become mandatory because laws are passed, and most likely these laws are drafted by lobbyists or "industry leaders" working for the credentialing entities. In other words, they exist because of corruption, not because of any real market need. I doubt these entrenched organizations are going to let AI interview software cut into their bottom line...

Not the same.

Say you want to learn an instrument or singing; give an AI tutor access to your camera and mic and it will give you relevant advice on your technique. As a mediocre self-taught musician that always wanted lessons but couldn't justify the cost...

I think very few things require a certification these days. and yes you could learn anything for free but most of these cheap courses from skillshare or udemy are pretty shit. Also, you cannot get personalized education with an actual teacher from these courses, which can make all the difference.

Not true. If you're good at coding and you can show it, getting a job is super easy. a degree isn't needed.

In IT degrees have 0 relevance. idk what are you talking about.

there was a study I saw awhile back, for software engineers around 92% had at least a bachelors degree. Sure if you want a level 1 tech IT repair job like geek squad or contract work, a cert with some experience is enough. I did that for a bit.

If you want a full time software engineer role that pays at least 60k+ a year, usually requires a degree.

The study you saw is completely wrong. You should read some profiles and job postings from linkedin and you'll see most software developers don't have a bachelor and most job postings don't ask for degrees and if they do they usually say "not required". Instead they ask for X amount of years of experience in React for example.

I'm not saying its impossible to get a SWE job without a degree or certs. But it puts you at a disadvantage. Why would a hiring manager choose someone without a CompSci Degree over someone with? Alot of times, The people with the degrees are the ones who actually get interviews.

And i saw a search on Indeed for SWE jobs, 17k asked for a Computer Science Degree, 11k asked for a Software Development degree.

Here is a study from July 2022 "73% of all Software Engineers have a bachelors degree"

1st: that's limited to the US

2nd: it's not the same that "most of them have a bachelor degree" than "it's required to have a bachelor degree". Most people think they need to have it and that's why they get one, and then they start as everybody else being juniors and having a boss younger than them. Once you get your first job it doesn't make any difference and it's better to spend time earning money and getting experience instead of wasting money and time on useless knowledge.

Web 1.0 and 2.0 were about putting information available and then trying to organize it to be found (HTTP, search engines, wikis, social networks, etc).

I won't speak of 3.0 'cause the term was hijacked and it was a huge fiasco.

But the next one, will be the true semantic web, mentored by nearly all-knowing AIs showing you the facts in carefully explainted terms, and providing immediate responses with information, not just data.

This is nothing like the past, because it will be an intelligent agent synthesizing the facts as an actual human expert would, and giving you those at first request. No fuss with seaching and investigating.

Of course, you still could search to verify the AI provided response, but soon people will find they are very reliable, despite some lingering tendency to fabulism (they just won't admit their ignorance yet).

Exaclty my thoughts. Once AI companions become more common: AIs that can self learn your thinking style, and the most optimal ways to present difficult concepts to each individual person- in a way that they would understand best, it would completely replace the education system.

Our current education system is flawed, where everyone is forced to consume the same teaching style, from the same teachers whether they excel or fall behind others. Everyone learns differently. Once students can have private AI tutors, tailored exactly to their thinking style and thought process, even the most poor performing students can be guided on a path to genius. Having a superintelligent AI therapist/educator around you all the time will mold one into mentally healthy and thriving person. While our generation was raised by the internet and social media, the next will he raised by AI, guiding the natural creativity of children into the Imagination Age rather than shutting it down in long, boring school days. AI will become a man's best friend.

Here's what ChatGPT had to say:

AI has the potential to revolutionize education by providing personalized learning experiences and making high-quality education more accessible to a wider range of people. By leveraging AI technologies such as natural language processing and computer vision, it may be possible to create educational systems that can provide tailored instruction and feedback to students, helping them to learn more efficiently and effectively.

However, it's important to recognize that AI is not a substitute for human teachers and mentors. While AI can provide valuable support and resources for learning, it is ultimately up to humans to design and use AI in ethical and responsible ways. It's also important to consider the social and economic implications of AI-driven education, and to ensure that the benefits of this technology are widely distributed and not just available to those who can afford it.

When a student is having difficulty understanding a concept, the AI can provide limitless assistance. It can repeat concepts that may not have been fully grasped, give concrete examples that may help the student understand the concept better, or provide graphical illustrations. It can also answer any questions the student might have. The AI can give the student as much practice as needed, with exercises tailored to their level, taking away the fear of difficulty. Over time, the AI will be able to track which strategies work or don't work for different students, and use language to motivate the student. This AI will be more pedagogical than a human can be, with the vast amount of experience it has to draw from - as it can learn from many more students than a human. It can also be fun, there's no reason the lesson can't be in pirate accent or played in VR. AI is pretty good at imagination, so I guess it won't be repetitive and boring.

oh yes I think the possibilities are beyond what we couldve come up with thus far with the current limitations of education. and like you said, with ai you wont be afraid to ask as many questions as you want and have the ai teach according to your style or given challenges. Can you imagine learning about history in vr, being right in the middle of some of the biggest historic moments? or learning a craft from some of the greatest masters? once people actually see the greatness of ai education, no one in their right mind wil go back to the current shit system.

Once we have brain implants/BCI and merge w AI, everyone will know everything by default.

Spending time on education won’t really be a thing for much longer.

Plus, once we have AI that can do everything for us, no reason to learn for the purpose of a career.

I think it’s gonna be a very short window where what you’re saying is true, until the next more insane thing happens that we can’t even really fathom yet.

There will always be new barriers, frontiers and challenges. Probably an infinite amount of them. We are already Gods compared to all other animals.

You conquered nuclear fusion? Congrats -- now conquer the solar system. Conquered the solar system? Congrats - now conquer the galaxy..

And so on and so forth until you arrive at stopping the literal heat death of the universe - and using wormholes to travel to other ones.

Like coldfusion said in his video about chatgpt, it seems like the age of information as nearing its end and we are entering the age of knowledge.

I think it will be the exact opposite. AI will make natural intelligence useless, and not an advantage in any sense. Also as AI can know more than possible for any human, knowledge will also become obsolete.

Maybe people will learn for pleasure, but obviously that will be less than 1% of the people that currently learn for improving their lives.

gen z proves that having access to limitless educational resources does not result in people learning how to utilize that access or even wanting to. You're right, it's going to be the opposite of what OP imagines.

It will revolutionize teaching. People will find all knowledge accessible, but whether people like it or not intelligence is largely determined by genetics.

Hopefully this allows everyone's base line knowledge to go up, and allows the greatest minds even more ability to acquire data and propel scientific discovery.

Teaching is harder than doing the work though in many applications. If AI can teach any subject it can do any subject. So it's the start of handing the torch to AI. The future belongs to AGI.

I am still waiting for our brains to be able to download information.

The reason I still study in College is because I think this technology will be limited to Education Institutes, which will seize it first and allow both Alumni and new customers to download the information of the B.A / M.A straight into their brains through BCI / other interfances.

So everybody could become highly educated. Would that helped with salaries ? with job stability ? no. competition between workers, and between workers and AI will just eat all the gains.

The system is rotten from the grounds up., no amount of more education , better education will fix that.
