New Theories / Re: How close are we from building a virtual universe?
« on: Yesterday at 17:02:04 »When AI can understand all humansProbably an extreme case, but whenever I've worked in the field of disability and rehabilitation we have been faced with the infinite variability of human ability, multiplied by the infinite variability of human response to any interaction. Whatever you make or do for one patient, there is always somebody for whom it's not quite right and/or who wants it in a different color. To a lesser extent, teaching is the same.
Now the problem you have demonstrated many times in these forums is that AI can only generate outputs based on previously published data, most of dubious value, and a learned or programmed preconception of acceptable phraseology. This puts it in the category of "educationalist" rather than "teacher."
The difference is
An educationalist takes a subject that he doesn't understand, rephrases it so that nobody can understand it, and insists that this must become part of a curriculum because all pupils are identical.
A teacher takes a subject that he understands, and rephrases it so that a child can understand it. The curriculum is less important than the pupil, and all the pupils are different.
