    They don’t teach much of anything anymore. Schools are babysitters that give grades.

      “just ask AI”

      tbf i loved computers when they first became common cuz i could do tutorials on them and tutorials arent emotional and grow impatient and say it doesnt have time for all my questions.

      which just goes to show just how there is lots of bad teachers out there.

      so i get it. especially for neuro divergent peeps who are legitimately curious and are trying but scared to take up anyone’s time, i really get it. Personally i think its good OP brings a question and people who do have time do answer.

      this is the way.

      I read something yesterday about influencers posting about history and inserting themselves in historical locations/events using ai.

      They place themselves in-between survivors on a boat, while the Titanic sinks, for example. Making themselves look as miserable as the others.

      Their motivation is that they think that teaching using textbooks is incompatible with many students and just plain boring.

        I mean history shows always have done reenactments. It’s just the current iteration of that.

        Not just influencers. EdTech, including Khan Academy, is pushing AI to make virtual versions of historical figures to engage students.
