#2From the summary of video:
"40% of fourth graders can't read. Kids are asking their teachers why they need to learn to read when AI can do it for them. Social media has destroyed their attention spans and now teachers aren't teaching, instead they're managing withdrawal symptoms."
Why are fourth graders on social media and using AI already? My fourth grade kid has no social media presence and definitely isn't familiar with AI tools. This sounds like a parent problem.

Not all parents on this planet are investing in their offspring. Some parents also miss the required knowledge. Getting the required knowledge could be a society problem.

#5Australia's social media ban for young teenagers is probably a good thing but time will tell.

#6Per stats in the video results are roughly the same as in 1992, with peak roughly at 2019. I do not know why is 1992 baseline, but for some reason it is.
OK, I found it, peak was 2020. Just in case someone will (again) argue this means we have to go back to pedagogy of 1970.

#7Don’t they still need to read what AI writes? Or did they skip to the TTS stage?

It needs generational time, the current hooked generation can't give up (not their fault since the largest tech bros build a very additive product), but there's hope for the next generation.
Unless something worse comes along, like vaping and we undo all the anti smoking progress of the last two generations.

You can "talk" to AI, so I assume this is what they'd be referring to. No need to write prompts or read responses.

The very last clip in the video says that it is kids in affluent families taking that direction.
