This is the crux of the problem in my opinion.

Children look to adults as role models for what to learn and why. We already know that children respond better to role models who have similar ethnicities and backgrounds to them, let alone being the same species.

AI cannot and will never be able to provide this motivation to learn, which is what kids actually need, because it is not human.

We hear all the time about digital addiction, gamification, FB, Tiktok, etc. Addiction is arguably more difficult to achieve than motivation. AI will be able to motivate people just fine

Using modern digital gamification to reinforce learning outcomes, a-la TikTok , will probably produce a generation of absolutely brilliant, weird psychopaths.
