I suspect many people might find these facts incongruous. After all, if you can afford $35K per year for your kid's education - surely you want the best human teachers that money can buy. Isn't it more likely we'll see human teacher job cuts in public schools while fobbing off the pupil's with AI - a second-rate option for the poors and peons?Except that isn't what is happening here. The school in question - David Game College is for the children of the global elites and oligarchs who live in London. At $35,000 per year I doubt many local London kids can afford it.
This isn't some cheapo option, it's the 'best of the best' for the kids of the 1%.Except that isn't what is happening here.

What's much more likely is that (eventually) AI Teachers and AI Doctors are going to be the best we've ever had. No human, not even the parents of only children, can lavish the time, expertise, and attention these AIs will give your child.
Except there is no AI teacher here, because AI doesn't exist yet. These kids are basically doing homework with a chatbot.
