The Economist, “Plunging test scores are a slow-moving catastrophe”:
Perhaps, though, as artificial intelligence improves, the fact that children struggle intellectually will not matter so much? The adults of the future will be able to outsource their thinking to clever machines, just as they use machines to perform innumerable physical tasks. So why sweat about swotting?
So I have this wonderful idea of starting a school. Instead of teaching students the usual syllabus, my school is going to only teach you how to use AI.
You see, regular schools are already doing this anyway, just less efficiently. Teachers are using AI to generate questions. Students are using AI to answer them. Then teachers are using AI to grade them. So I thought, why not skip the extra steps and go straight to the destination?
We’ve all seen the problems of low wages and unqualified teachers. But don’t worry. Ms. Qwen 3.5 will be more than qualified, because it was trained by distilling the frontier models from both OpenAI and Anthropic. We then fine-tuned it with every textbook and every Sesame Street video. It only costs us $1,000 per month to run.
The number one goal of a school is to make money. We don’t want to educate your children. We want to help them bypass education altogether. We do not guarantee that our students will possess any basic human skills upon graduation, but we guarantee that they will appear to possess those skills.
We believe that every kid is equal, and AI is the best equalizer. If they are too smart, the AI will dumb them down. If they are too dumb, the AI will make them sound normal. This way, every one of our students will be exactly the same. Perfect if your business needs replaceable workers.
Maybe you’re thinking, who’s going to attend your school? Well, let me tell you what’s going on with the other schools. You send your kids there for 12 years. Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. And they give you a young person who can’t answer, if you take 2 apples out of 5, how many are left? Then these kids get into prestigious universities with a 3.65 GPA. If you look at that and don’t see a market opportunity, you’re not wired right.
I believe the children are our future. I believe AI is the future too. So we put the future in the hands of the future. This is the future of the future of education.
