Am I the only one somewhat alarmed that we are choosing to rely on AIs that are vulnerable to hallucinations so much? Personally I rather have a more limited but reliable tool than a more powerful but unreliable one.

Why do these tech giants receive GPT-4 access much earlier than regular seed startups? Is it fair?!
Highly recommend the Neal Stephenson book The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer , for an interesting exploration of a custom AI tutor for each student. In that book, students have a "magic book" that teaches them lessons in a story form while encouraging certain life paths. It's pretty fascinating to consider the implications and whether that's something we'll want, bc it may soon be possible.
This seems like a no-brainer next step for OpenAI, to derive an AI instructor from GPT-4 without a partner like Khan Academy. I suppose that may require a "truer" multimodality of ChatGPT being able to generate images or visual patterns. Imagine being able to onboard new employees via such an agent or learning about complex subjects.

Just to be clear: it's not for every student (at least not yet!). We are in a research phase sharing it with a limited subset of users. More details about our approach to the responsible development of AI: https://blog.khanacademy.org/aiguidelines/

I would prefer that khan academy not be dragged into some PR fluff piece for some AI shill.

Khan Academy's integration of GPT-4 already steers students towards particular modes of thought. According to the article, they want "to get students thinking deeply about the content that they’re learning" and in the examples, Khanmigo prompts students to recall information from the lesson rather than directly explaining how to solve the problem. I think what Khan Academy has done here is desirable, but just as Step…
