mhoyeDaughter just came home to tell me the teachers at school tried to confiscate her vape but they couldn't because it's actually a kazoo.

The grin on her face.
tanteThe way "AI" systems are presented as "social companions to fight loneliness" is very similar in how "AI" is supposed to help teaching: Both are founded in a massive misunderstanding of the social dynamics techies try to replace.
You friend isn't just a thing to send you text, they're not a service. Being taught also ins't a mere service, it's a transformative experience that changes you and your teacher.

Graydon@cstross The Laundry needs some modicum of peace, government, and good order to exist as a thing in a context, and the Black Pharaoh does provide.
The current crop of politicians aren't arguing about how to do the thing; they're arguing about what other thing should be done instead, if only people can be compelled to be good, righteous, moral people who understood their duty to die uncomplaining in specific ways with specific timing, lest the incumbents face alteration of circumstances.
