   Because our goal is to eliminate the Left's influence in education.   
      
   AI does nothing but make the current situation cheaper.

   That's pretty much what I was seeing.  It's OK for something like "using my   
   code base, write a simple program to count the widgets" and it would do it   
   pretty well.  But I could still do it faster because I wouldn't have had to   
   review the resulting code.

   That's what ESR was saying on X.  AIs to a really good job of "reading the   
   manuals and explaining things".   
      
   So my main use today is not having AI write my code, but having it explain XXX   
   for me to see how I could use XXX in my code.

   That's not saying much.  Schools aren't for learning anything today.  Unless   
   you count "how to be a ignorant leftoid" as "learning".
