And,        RL> yes, AIs do have bias based on the media it was trained on.              That's true, but the schools are left leaning anyway. Why pay them to       propagate what AI bots can propagate for free?               RL> AT> I have used AI extensively and I can say with confidence that if AI        RL> AT> can't teach something, then nobody can.        RL>         RL> I've yet to see this for anything complicated. Pretty much every time        RL> I've tried to ask an AI this, it gave me an answer that was plausable,        RL> but mostly made up.              ChatGPT's public model (GPT-5) is better than a Google search if you have a       general question about something, but for serious tasks like "Evaluate my 400       page node.js project and help me split it into modules," GPT-5 couldn't handle       that. It had me replacing outdated statements with other outdated statements       only to tell me later "These statements are outdated." (waste of time)              But Claude's Sonnet 4.5 showed me the newest JS techniques, explained       the differences, helped me implement them, and I haven't had any issues with       my project.              I haven't used it for any actual programming (C++, etc) yet but I bet that it       will kick ass at that too. Surely it could teach kids better or even run a       school better than George's unerlings.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64)        * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/201)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 134 206 300 307 317 400 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 700 705 266/512 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 342/201 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 342/201 200 229/426           |
