I wish someone would build an interactive teaching AI, (perhaps in a mathematical context at first). For example, the user might start with a goal such as, "I'd like to understand singular value decomposition." The AI would interactively assess the user's level of background and begin instruction at the appropriate level, leading to the desired goal.

The AI starts getting mad.

You: I don't understand AI:. What is so difficult about quantum mechanics! I can solve this question in 0.00076 of a second!
