A few months ago now, Arizona? Arkansas maybe? Some state legalized “AI powered” home schooling systems. But it was mostly clickbait and the system is less like ChatGPT and more like the YouTube Algorithm machine learning. It takes into account the stuff that students do well at and let’s them advance beyond “grade level” limitations while also learning how to present problem areas in ways the student responds to.
I had asked my home schooled AI researcher buddy his thoughts and he obviously liked it. I like the idea too, but my hang up was on socializing kids. That to me is the more important role of schools.
I wouldn’t trust an LLM in this set up though. A human tutor would still need to step in for questions outside of a FAQ IMO. I love working with an LLM by giving it all the manuals, guides, and config files I used then asking where I went wrong because it can usually give me a good enough interpretation to see where to go next. But that’s just a rubber duck. My mind and skills are developed. A kid learning math for Tue first time can’t do that.
I have helped my neighbor across the halls kid with his gaming PC.
Couldn’t tell ya her name, but the dog below me with a heart problem is named Sophie, the neighbors down the hall have cats named Mink and Stink, and a few buildings down there’s a lady with two huskies one named Pogs and the other Skips (Skips has 3 legs)
