I can't help but feel that people are completely missing the forest for the trees with AI and education. Which isn't particularly surprising when you realize most people haven't ever made the connection that the primary point of education is to make effective economic contributors in your society, rather than just being something you do because it's just what we do.

We are going to use powerful AI to teach kids to do jobs that AI will almost certainly do better in 10-20 years?

Like I get that there is a notion of "What else are we supposed to do?", but it still just feels so silly and futile to go along with. Like "Lets use AI to teach kids how to program!"....uhhh, the writing is on the wall
