I appreciate your insightful article. And have a key question. What is the goal of learning? The article does a great job of offering a lot of examples of different models and the outcomes achieved. I have three degrees in education and have taught in schools from elementary to graduate levels. The goals were almost always retention of information.

My Master and Doctorate trainings were in counseling and theology where facts and theories are poorly related to outcomes that a graduate is expected to achieve in practice. Character and caring, not facts, are essential to positively impacting distressed clients.

I have thus developed training designed to impact the inner life.

I am not sure why an educator would use a tool that makes things up if they dont know it. That is what students do

Kids need to be with other kids not just in the classroom. Your suggestions sound terrible to my ears.

I am convinced that AI education and Counseling will exacerbate the inhuman treatment of individuals and make the need for loving human interactions greater. As John Haidt says, interactions with a computer and getting strong hits of dopamine every 60 seconds leave our Sympathetic System always on high alert.

Additionally, individuals traumatized by harsh relationships need to experience healing through loving relationships with others. asking AI to mimic a human by accurately responding to a prompt is adding more trauma to the nervous system.

Our classes consist of one-third lectures and reading, and two-thirds interactions in groups of three. This learning system can counter the impersonal, inhuman education that currently dominates all levels of education, focusing on facts.
