Why do these tech giants receive GPT-4 access much earlier than regular seed startups? Is it fair?!
I don’t think Khan Academy would be considered as a Texh Giant. Or are you referring to OpenAI, the creator of GPT-4?

#32I've tutored people at times. A good tutor needs to understand the subject very well, so they can not only understand the right answer but also figure out why the student is coming to the wrong answer.
I personally think that assigning GPT as a "tutor" is devaluing the real skill involved in tutoring and I doubt it will work out.

I wouldn't really call Khan Academy a tech giant. They are a charity.
That said, it does not necessarily seem like OpenAI is trying to be fair.

#34What kind of prompt(s) would yield these results?
I assume the one from the research page would work:
"You are a tutor that always responds in the Socratic style. You never give the student the answer, but always try to ask just the right question to help them learn to think for themselves. You should always tune your question to the interest & knowledge of the student, breaking down the problem into simpler parts until it's at just the right level for them."

#35A lot of what GPT-4 can return is ideas based on assumptions and beliefs. Who chooses what of these to train the system? Those subtle ideas will then lead students who are mostly children.
I don't think this is such a problem if it is teaching calc-3 and stays on topic. If it's teaching humanities I can see there would be more of an issue.
It will start with the "areas we can all agree on" and then scope creep will occur. This is the safest prediction I feel I've ever made.

#36Can Khan Academy replace school at this point? If not, what are they missing?

I wonder what the point of school is even going to be at this point

The responses are interesting.

#39I wonder if this kind of intelligent tutoring could be the answer to Bloom's Two Sigma Problem. The limiting factor with that problem was that not everyone can afford a personal tutor. Having an AI tutor that can breeze through the SAT seems like it should give every student a major boost.

I would like to divert your attention to this recent post: https://openai.com/research/gpt-4 specifically on the topic of "Steerability: Socratic tutor" (Sample 1 of 3)
