All the standard anti-AI tropes are rolled out in this article, and even the subhead asserting "South Korea's $850 million AI textbook program was scrapped after four months" is an exaggeration (as the story says, "the government in January shifted from mandatory adoption to a one-year voluntary trial... (and then) Lawmakers revoked the status of the AI textbooks in August, leaving it up to schools to use them"). From a third-hand view, it appears much more to resemble a far-too-common phenomenon: the botched tech launch. "The overall quality was poor, and it was clear it had been hastily put together... The program failed because everything was rushed; it should have been rolled out gradually after testing its effectiveness."
