Let’s play education system bingo.

Here’s a bingo card, cross off each item that has transpired in your years of being in school/university:

The items on this bingo card result from issues with our education system:

• It is poorly personalized to our strengths and weaknesses
• Poorly skilled teaching staff can severely impact learning ability

But now, in the age of large language models, we have a system that knows it all. And it can personalize our learning to exactly what we need to thrive:

• Customize a curriculum based on our curiosities
• Answer questions that most teachers have trouble answering
• Assist us every step along the way

Getting rid of the traditional education system will take time. But my prediction is that AI will play an increasing role in education, till each student gets their personalized learning optimizing for the sweet spot:

Learning will be more fun, and society can be smarter in a constantly changing future.
