    Gates is right. I am a teacher right now and the county has an AI that they asked us to use for lessons and planning. I tried to explain to the other teachers that we are training the AI to do our jobs, They laughed at me. My prediction is that one teacher will manage 4 or 5 classrooms with each room having an assistant to manage the kids. That one teacher will set up lesson and monitor progress. That eliminates 3 to 4 teaching positions. In my county I am making 68k a year and an assistant makes about about 25 to 30k. That means you can hire 2 maybe 3 for the price of me. If you place the assistants on 35 hours a week then no benefits. Hell you could even hire an outside company to do the assistants just like we do the cafeteria and just give them a lump sum to man those positions. The poor kids in the future are fucked.
