This was spot-on until you the final sentence. And that was more an individual position ("I will trust") rather than a general prescription ("You should trust")...so I am not sure why this is unpopular. AI does have the potential to be a private tutor. Think that scene from Star Trek (2009)[1] or The Young Ladies Illustrated Primer. Companies are making 11-12 figure bets that AI will be huge, so this comment isn't out of line. [1] [VIDEO]

The equivalent of what current-gen LLMs do is an oral examination. Picture standing in the middle of a room surrounded by subject matter experts grilling you for your knowledge of various random topics. You have no tools, no calculator, no pencil and paper. You’re asked a question and you just have to spit out the answer. No option to backtrack, experiment, or self correct. “Translate this to Hebrew”. “Is this a valid criticism of this passage from a Platonic perspective?” “Explain counterfactual determinism in Quantum Mechanics.” “What is the cube root of 74732?” You would fail all of these. The AI gets 3 of 4 correct. Tell me who’s smarter? You because of your preconceptions, or because of real superiority?

I'd like to see a human programming language, the VR headset is placed on humans and the human is programmed by the computer to learn certain things, to produce certain outputs based upon certain inputs, like the Vulcan learning school [VIDEO] Then we have lots of programmed humans. Actually, its a very bad idea.
