Can't have real humans with unauthorized opinions "corrupting" the minds of our students.

Also, fuck Melania, she's a horrible person, just fucking horrible, like the rest of them.

Hard to distinguish who is the robot in the image.

The Melaniabot is almost lifelike!

American has such a massive hardon for hating on teachers.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Well of course it does. An educated populace directly hinders the government. Plus Republicans NEED to keep the populace dumb, angry, and poor. It's the best way to control them and easily push agendas without any push back.

Yes I'm sure this is cheaper than the 40k/yr teacher salary.

Not getting sick, not needing vacation, won't argue against religious indoctrination, can't sue when it gets shot during a school shooting, no health insurance premiums.

No income taxes either

This is just a super duper greatttttt idea from thepaedowife, because, as we all know, that the only thing that can kill a bad guy with a gun is a good robot with a rocket.
I'm absolutely positive the gun toting weirdos that plague american schools will not use this to their advantage.

Plus they get rid of those pesky teachers who can teach kids to think for themselves!!

AI robots as potential, "personalized" educators for America's children in their homes.

Well... it sure is a way to end school shootings...

Dang that's a convincing robot. The android on the left is pretty cool too.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 minutes ago

Not only can AI share a depth and breadth of knowledge, she said, but it can also patiently help children develop "deep critical thinking and independent reasoning abilities," achieve a "more well-rounded lifestyle" as they make time for other activities and become a "more complete person."

haha

I prefer libraries. With robots, books, & no screens, the kids could maybe survive and even have a shot in hell at something better, but I'm sure that's far from what's being proposed.

Iliterate woman pitches robots as teachers. Ooof, no wonder China is running circles around the US on tech.

I'd say she was inspired by Neal Stephenson's book Diamond Age, but I've seen no compelling evidence that Melanua can read.
