Really? Did you try to learn something seriously with AI and compare the same process with a human teacher? And you seriously believe the parrot is better?

Try asking ChatGPT or Gemini about minimax plus alpha-beta pruning then change the cut-off conditions and ask it which one is correct and why and see it for yourself. Lookup the literature to see which one is correct.

And that’s only a very simple example of concrete facts/things. Now imagine the AI not only need to understand abstract concepts, it also need to understand your weakness/strength to adapt the examples/explanations, give you scaffolding and speak to your heart to become a good teacher. Good luck!

I have an audio recording of an actual human teacher trying to insist, in the 2005-6 academic year, that motion capture couldn't possibly be recorded for more than a few minutes at a time because that would use "several megabytes" of data.

My laptop was recording audio at 44kHz/16-bit at the time.
