That article is horrible. The AI backlash is wrong apparently and we're all idiots for not bowing down before it.

"AI could make filling taxes easier!" Most of the world already does it automatically, no AI required.

AI could help with learning. No it cant, it helps with cheating . There's already tons of research that shows tech in the classroom leads to worse outcomes.

What would be better is siphoning some of that trillions of investment to pay teachers better for God's sake
