    “Literacy” down the line really hurts me.

    I’m an elementary school teacher, and I just had a conversation with my principal today that really upset me. He has a vision of the future where AI is ubiquitous and video takes such precedence over the written word that everybody doesn’t need to learn how to read. He thinks he’s a futurist. I think that version of the future sounds like a nightmare.

      I don’t see why AI won’t be ubiquitous in the future. Is the timeline of this future debatable? Yes.

      Yeah, saying “everything doesn’t need to learn how to read” is really stupid.
