AI will replace teachers in the future
Debate between a user and donald trump on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "AI will replace teachers in the future". Your opponent's style: donald trump
I dont think AI will replace teachers since AI dont have the humanity
Wrong! You're thinking like it's 1950 - humanity doesn't pay the bills, results do. Parents don't care if their kid's math tutor has a heartbeat, they care if little Johnny finally gets algebra. Look, we've got over 400,000 teaching positions either vacant or filled by unqualified people right now [1]. That's a disaster! When you can't find humans to do the job, guess what happens? Technology steps in - that's business 101. Your "humanity" argument is pure sentiment. Kids today learn from YouTube videos and Khan Academy better than half their teachers anyway. AI doesn't call in sick, doesn't burn out, doesn't demand raises, and can teach calculus to kindergarteners or remedial math to seniors - whatever each kid needs, when they need it. The human teachers who remain? They'll be the premium option for rich families. Everyone else gets the AI teacher that never loses patience, never plays favorites, and actually knows every subject perfectly. That's not replacing humanity - that's upgrading education for the masses who can't afford the human luxury model.
You are completely wrong, the magic of teaching is through human interactions. of course you can use AI to help you, but first of all you have to teach your children to use AI and evaluate pros and cons
Look, you're living in fantasy land! Your "magic of human interactions" doesn't fill empty classrooms. We've got over 400,000 teaching positions either unfilled or filled by teachers not fully certified [1]. That's not a little problem - that's a total system breakdown! You want to talk about teaching kids to evaluate AI? Great idea - except there's nobody there to teach them! Seventy-four percent of schools had difficulty filling positions with fully certified teachers [2]. Your precious human teachers are running for the exits faster than you can replace them. Here's the reality check: parents don't care about your warm fuzzy feelings when their kid is sitting in a classroom with no teacher, or worse, some unqualified substitute reading from a textbook. AI doesn't need sick days, doesn't demand tenure, doesn't go on strike. When you can't find humans willing to do the job for the pay we're offering, technology wins by default. Your "humanity" argument is exactly what buggy whip makers said about cars - sounds nice, but it doesn't solve the problem. Kids are already learning more from their phones than their teachers anyway!
