I don't really believe they want to teach the children critical thinking skills, because if they had them they should question all the Trumptard bullshit.

Of course it's one of Elon's cuckbots, probably being driven by some kid in Malaysia

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.

American has such a massive hardon for hating on teachers.

It's in their best interests to continue the downward trend of education in the US. They literally forced children to say a pledge of allegiance every morning. US has been indoctrinating children for hundreds of years and the only thing stopping them continue that effort are liberal teachers.

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.

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

The Melaniabot is almost lifelike!

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.

Just lucrative support deals

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...

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 2 points 2 hours ago

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