>Teachers won't be replaced by software in environments where human discourse is necessary or valuable.

that's true ... until discourse with AI becomes more valuable and efficient investment of time.

In the meantime, discourse with a good teacher in China for example may be more valuable then one with a bad teacher here.

If discourse with AIs is more valuable than discourse with human beings, humanity is on its way out anyway. Why would anyone teach a human being anything in that case? It would be AIs teaching each other.
