You can have all the knowledge at your fingertips!
What actually happened: ads shoved down our throats and way more distractions (porn, games, etc.)
Meanwhile math and reading levels continue to plummet.
So I don’t have high hopes. Those of us who use tools to succeed will continue to do so. Others who can’t control themselves will keep complaining. Nothing new.
AI will give us an answer with ads shoved into it with companies bidding to show their ad with the answer. People will do degenerate shit with AI, and gaming addiction will continue. People will still keep blaming the system and wondering why they can’t get ahead while spending most of their free time wasting it on gambling, porn, and games instead of learning.
The world will be split unevenly into people who research to contribute to AI knowledge base, and people who simply consume AI content.
The question is. How will we (the enlightened ones lol) make money off it?

>Picture this: You're a seventh-grade student who struggles to keep up in math. But now, you have an AI tutor like the one Sal describes by your side. Picture this: You're a seventh-grade student who struggles to solve the equations in math. But now you have an AI that solves it for you. I bet that there will be more students of the later type than the former.
> But now you have an AI that solves it for you. and then the AI explains how it was solved, step by step. You can repeatedly ask it to clarify, and it has endless patience and won't get bored or sick of you. Eventually, you understand how the equation is solved. No human teacher would be able to achieve this.

But idea behind these AI tutors are to help and guide you through the process of asking questions until you understands.
Will it be perfect? hell no! Just another tool for teachers to either enhance and/or give extra help with almost no extra resources.
Hopefully this will pan out for the better then the worse

This immediately reminds me of the scene in Terminator 2 where Sarah Connor is reflecting on how the terminator, reprogrammed to aid John Connor, is the best father figure he’s ever had.

“It would never leave him, and it would never hurt him. Never shout at him or get drunk and hit him or say he was too busy to spend time with him. It would always be there, and it would die to protect him.”
Sal Khan’s work changed my life and allowed me to build a foundation in not only math, but also finance and economics, that allowed me to feel confident enough to go to college. I did not have a support system or people in my life who could teach me these things, but I had the internet and patience, which meant I had opportunities that did not exist even a few years before (this was in 2014).
Now I work in AI and generally have a life I could not have dreamed of. Every time I go to the grocery store to buy something and don’t have to worry about my card being declined, it feels like magic. Even years later.
If I had been in that situation a few years earlier, my life would be very different.
I’m excited to live in a world where my daughters and countless others will have a tutor that can help them maximize their potential throughout their lives. I’m excited not only for them, but for society. What a time to be alive.

I have coworkers who already stop to type things into a GPT before using any part of their mind to think about things. At this point I assume its inevitable that for large segments of people, who are not actively trying to maintain the independence of their mind, will allow these computers to do their thinking and decision making for them.
