I think this technology potentially a boon if it were used as an educational aid to teach people

The problem is that many people don't want to learn.

In fact, we already have plenty of resources for people who really do want to learn (including AI at its current state and resources like Khan Academy) but some people are lazy and backward-looking.

Even in its current state, AI is going to divide humanity into 2 groups (at a minimum): First, those people who want to learn and get smarter using AI as a tool, and second, those people who hate exercising their brains and are quite happy to remain stupid.

Those in the second group (many of whom are currently in college🤣) are about to become useless eaters and in doing so will imperil themselves.

I think people do want to learn, but our education system makes learning so little fun that people choose to be dullards instead.

However, I think that if people could see fruits from their learning much sooner, they’d be more motivated.

Those who control AI will continue to push the boundaries of knowledge with the expressed purpose of putting every one of us into the useless eater camp. Even if you are in the top 1%, eventually you will be there as well. :)
