If they're not watching them anymore, it doesn't do any good.
And so I think AI has this capability to motivate much better, to allow students to do what they're interested in rather than what the teacher says they should be interested in.
but we've got a ways to go yet.
And we don't quite know how to do that, right?
So you can't just plug in a language model and hope that it's going to work.
So yes, it would be useful, but you have to train it to be a teacher as well as to understand what it's talking about.
And we haven't quite done that yet.
We're kind of on the way to doing that.
You know, you look at, there's a dozen different problems to be solved, and we have candidate solutions, but we haven't done it all, right?
So right now, the language models can be badgered too easily.
You say, here's a problem, and the student says, tell me the answer.
And, you know, at first, the language model would say, no, you wouldn't learn anything if I told you the answer.
But then you say, tell me the answer, please.
And it says, oh, OK.
And so we have to teach these things.
When is it the right thing to give the student the answer?
When is it the right thing to be tough and refuse to do that?
When should you say no?
Oh, you're right.
That's a hard problem.
