        Apples are great against diarrhea.

        It’s just hard to get them out later.

        Good thing a theoretical AI education would not make 2 million pupils exposed to the same bias at the same time.

        Indeed. Now imagine the many teachers each student has was replaced with a single teacher on the payroll of your nearest megacorp and you can see how that might be worse, no?
