Clearly the goal of this particular technology at this point in time is to reduce cost. AIs scale very cheaply.

I believe that, for now, AI teaches worse than human teachers. But we are rapidly reaching human level, and might surpass it quite soon (a few years). At that point, AIs will dominate in both cost and quality.

As a teacher, I wouldn't say dare say that. There are many teachers who are abysmal, and even if you get a brilliant one, you don't get to take them home so they can help you understand a concept while studying at 1 am.

Just yesterday, I was reading a history of mathematics textbook for fun where I had trouble with an explanation that wasn't worded too clearly in a book. I got my questions answered in a few minutes with GPT4.
