    It was only a matter of time before they try to replace teachers with AI

      That was literally the plan from the start.

      Going after the Department of Education was a prelude to Grok AI Teacher. With fascinating new lesson plans like “Was the Holocaust even real?”

      It’s pretty clear when people think all Professors do is teach they have no idea what goes on at a university.

      The data likely used is…

      1. VLE materials
      2. Lecture recordings
      3. Provided lecture notes
      4. Released past papers
      5. Released marking schemes

      At every stage, these are things students have asked for. The end result, universities are now in a position to do this. This slow creep is the usual tactic.

      It won’t be immediate replacement - “AI assisted courses” will take workload from staff, and staff will be mandated to oversee their AI “teaching assistants”.

      Over time it becomes one lecturer overseeing most courses. From there… Well, AI professors.
