No but actually it is. Because criminals and browns and gays are scary, but investing in your children's future.... No no no, can't have that, that's too expensive. Where will the money come from? Everybody will lose their jobs if we upset the masters! We must protect the status quo at all costs!
It looks like it to the parents and the board, which is all that matters. Most of them don't ever see the hours of putting together a curriculum, or answering questions, or grading essays and putting homework together and trying to keep kids interested. They just remember (wrongly) "well you get up and talk about stuff from a book, what if we fed that book to a machine and it said that stuff instead for the price of your salary, once."
It will specifically talk in a context where the human cannot tell if it’s hallucinating or not.
LLMs are always hallucinating. That's how they function. It pulls something that's probably coherent from literal random noise and techbros pretend it was "thinking", then when the result is something undesirable, they act like it made a "mistake". Don't buy into their bullshit.
Also it will be used by thousands of people consequently for 8 hours straight so we can speedrun climate change I guess.
I'm going to assume this thing would run a model locally because the alternative would be insane, especially if you're doing it to reduce the costs relative to hiring a teacher. And if it's running a local model, then it's at worst speed running climate change as much as a similarly-long gaming session.
Which is probably the future of embodied AI in practical situations - running a local model in an appropriately designed robot body to the task domain at hand. If for no other reason than because in real applications you're not going to want response time relying on network turnaround for any important task, or most tasks that involve interacting with the physical world in general.
My job, whose entire goal was to sell marketing services using text messages, decided one day to pivot towards dating! Half the company's job was to make it work!
Imagine all those spammy
"Want cheaper meds? Reply Y. Unsubscribe with 'CANCEL'"
but with
"Hi I'm Tiffany I'm single. You interested? Reply Y. Unsubscribe with 'CANCEL'".
Anyways I didn't bail in time and then had to fight my ass off to get my last paycheck when they declared bankruptcy.
I mean, teaching is probably the least well fit a task could be for an AI robot, but I'm honestly not surprised at all at a sex doll company working on a project for building AI powered robots for use cases where human-like interaction is important. It's going to fail for teaching applications, but for say customer service or retail...
Sex doll companies are far more experienced at wrapping a decently realistic looking human form around some mechanisms than the sort of people who normally build bipedal robots. Building "skins" to wrap around bipedal robot frames to make them easier to anthropomorphize for customer facing jobs seems like a logical direction to expand into for a sex doll company looking to diversify. Teaching is just...very the wrong application of this.
i mean, there is a TON of money in this field. No, not teaching, not that one. But the aspect of indoctrinating the youth so they dont grow up all democratic.
What subject doesn't matter as much as making sure they don't let the programming of the different 'bots overlap...

The district in question is heavily republican so how does that tie this stupid idea to democrats instead of the party that actually has control of the area?
Maybe you’re just a moron, because a. this has nothing to do with politics, and b. even if it did, it’s happening in a Republican county:
This ludicrous stunt is being subjected upon Salamanca, New York, a city in Cattaraugus County, with a population of 5,929, and Seneca Nation land. And, as is the case with every single AI grift in existence, it’s being done not to actually help the widely impoverished people of Salamanca, but to try to promote the company’s AI.

It doesn't really matter what other products the company makes.
But a teacher is one if the least AI-able jobs I think. There's no way this will work.

There's no way it will give kids an adequate education...
But that's not exactly been the goal of the American public school system since No Child Left behind almost 30 years ago.
Our public education system has been under attack for generations while the wealthy go to private schools and ivy leagues.
And people act surprised when 18 year olds voted trump.
Kids don't magically become functional adults because of what a calendar says, someone needs to teach them to act right.
