A good tutor needs to understand how the student thinks. That’s also how you come up with plausible but wrong answers to mcqs

Sure but there are more fundamental problems. AI isn’t good at writing multiple choice questions - it picks distractors that are too obviously wrong because it has little data on student errors and no model of what causes student errors

That’s fair. I had it write a computer algebra system. It’s just math, so I can give it lots of test cases. Letting it loose on data is riskier because test data may not replicate characteristics of the real data.

You’re anthropomorphizing it. If it were human, yeah, I’d fire it. It lies about having fixed the bug, lies about the algorithms it’s using, takes stupid shortcuts and says I’m a genius for pointing out the obvious. But it works quickly and if you can give it lots of test cases, it works.

This law applies to both public and private institutions. Trump’s demands are clearly illegal.

Better yet, this should be the start of a sting of bills focusing on good government. No direct investment in stocks by congress - only blind trusts or broad indexes, for example. Make this the Dem brand.

It’s clearly illegal. The federal government is not allowed to control any program of instruction or materials.
