I'm not against the use of AI in education, however I would approach it with caution.
I would approach the idea of removing the human element from teaching with EXTREME caution.
To be fair to your point, a lot of teachers suck and AI would be better for their students in a lot of cases but that's just putting another layer of gauze over the top of a festering wound rather than treating the wound. It's just gonna fester more.
A lot of people make a lot of really dumb decisions. That includes failing to invest heavily in children's educations very early in life. That includes failing to establish daily, supplemental, home learning, outside and beyond what the schools are doing. There are so many, and people are innovative in their stupidity. Innovative stupidity creates innovative problems that require innovative solutions.
I think high quality human teachers will retain certain advantages over their AI counterparts. The best schools in the future will feature the best teachers who have tailored some AI as a classroom assistant offering them the ability to scale the student to teacher ratio higher and higher, thus giving more students the benefit of being taught by the best teachers.
