If you can use AI agents to give exams, what is stopping you from using them to teach the whole course?

Also, with all the progress in video gen, what does recording the webcam really do?



What's stopping you from just using the AI to directly accomplish the ultimate goal, rather than taking the very indirect route of educating humans to do it?


What's the end vision here? A society of useless, catatonic humans taken care of by a superintelligence? Even if that's possible, I wouldn't call that desirable. Education is fundamental for raising competent adults.


Great question about what adults can be more competent about than an artificial superintelligence. ‘How to be a human’ comes to mind and not much more.


Yes I feel like we still don’t have a good explanation for why AI is super human at stand alone assessments but fall down when asked to perform long term tasks.


Well, yes, but, perhaps shortsightedly, I assumed the goal of the professor was to teach the course.
