Then regular recess/lunch shenanigans and gym class, art, music, for the social aspect. The AI could even be programmed to do team projects where you link your tablet with 4 others and they all help the group do a project Eventually when AI advances and isn't complete dog shit, that is. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Aux@feddit.uk -7 points 1 year ago (6 children) Yeah, the social aspect of a dick head in the last row screaming obscenities at a teacher is definitely missed! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) When you become an adult you still have to deal with dick heads screaming around you, I know this is Lemmy and people who come here might not have the best social skills, or fond memories of being in school. But schools are a micro representation of the world at large and it's necessary for kids to have both these good and bad experiences in order to grow up to live in society and deal with all the shit life's gonna throw at them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Aux@feddit.uk -1 points 1 year ago I guess someone's stuck in a kindergarten... permalink fedilink source parent [–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) VS kids being taught that the holocaust is a lie or whatever insane shit comes from an AI? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Aux@feddit.uk -1 points 1 year ago The only insane shit here comes from the gasket between your chair and your keyboard. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) I was talking about social teaching where kids pick up on adult body queues and facial expressions permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago So they too can feel depressed and worthless 😄 permalink fedilink source parent
