According to this article, "the race is shifting from 'Who has the smartest chatbot?' to 'Who can build an AI that helps a person learn without doing the learning for them?'" It's a good question, because it's not exactly clear what the answer would look like (and indeed, it might be different for each student). "The problem is timing. If a beginner uses AI to bypass the exact mental operation they are trying to learn, they may become efficient before they become competent." This would have been a stronger article had it stuck to this question, but the AI-assisted text wanders as it goes on, talking more about the role of the teacher and that the AI can, and cannot, replace. "The winning model is unlikely to be 'AI teaches, humans watch.' It is more likely to be a deliberately designed triangle: the student does the learning, the AI supplies adaptive support, and the teacher decides what the learning is for."
