1 and 2 any of the big AI companies will do that for you. I have Claude doing this for me for a few learning areas.

3 to me feels like the Duolingo bird.

IMHO, they are trying to solve the wrong thing. People who want to learn will gravitate to learning systems.

If you can find a way to pull in people who don't want to learn, that has value.

[anvuong]

Yeah, I think people who really want to learn will very quickly grow out of this.

This is for people who don't want to learn but actually have to for some reasons.

[cyclopeanutopia]

Totally agree that the missing ingredient is making people want to learn. Which seems like something that gets harder every day.

[fluoridation]

Is it? People want to learn things they think they need. Is there a growing disconnection between what they think they need and what they actually need?

[ndr42]

A very cynical way to put it: "Why should I learn something when AI could do for me?"

[LunaSea]

In a world where most people learn to get a job, its less of a cynical question and more a practical question.

[ajpaulson]

What do you mean by “learning systems?”

[EagnaIonat]

I was referring to systems that are designed to teach people.

SCORM for example.

[kovek]

I think learning from another human being live who can understand your confusingly articulated questions and who can adjust their answers for you, another human being, that's great.

[b473a]

I agree, at least in that we need more human contact, not less.

But I will say Gemini / Claude have both been surprisingly good at understanding my half-assed attempts to put a complicated question into a coherent sentence.

[bryanrasmussen]

I mean "People who want to learn will gravitate to learning systems." means that this is the obvious target market for a learning system. Since there are lots of those out there you win on execution.

>If you can find a way to pull in people who don't want to learn, that has value.

Most companies try to address a known market and not create one.

At any rate you have two types of people who don't want to learn:

1. people who don't want to learn and have to anyway, for some reason (generally work related)

2. people who don't want to learn and have nothing forcing them.

Number 1 is a potential market, number 2 seems hopeless.
