      I think it is a wonderful tool to encourage critical thinking. It could go beyond just reading comprehensions, pose questions in science, history, political science in a way that would urge students to connect the various subjects they are learning. Encouraging them to create a unified vision of the world in their minds.

It’s crazy to think how many millions of people of all ages around the globe have been learning on khan academy a quality educational content for absolutely free, including me, who’s not even a native English speaker and never been in English speaking countries. In fact, I improved my English a lot on khan academy. I wish him to always stay humble like he is regardless of what prize he gets.

    I loved the bit about 'AI thoughts' and khanmigo being able to understand student misconceptions and work from there, possible only because of individual tutoring. It's what we refer to as the 'pause', mulling over the student's response and asking follow up questions to understand how the student is processing the problem, to support them better. That's really powerful and something teachers struggle with because of large student numbers in Indian classrooms. Something more significant it leaves us, both teachers and students, is to then think about- 'what's worth teaching and learning'. I hope this new era of AI enabled education shifts our collective mental models on this subject.

    I'm past the school and college point. My sources of knowledge is majorly by other people, like UA-camrs.
    THIS, is like a miracle for me. I'm learning with so much positive impacts that I can't begin to explain.
    I was told by someone, "This is artificial afterall."
    Well, personally, all my life I felt like people like college professors, they act in a certain manner, which can be considered "not real", but why should you care, focus on what you can learn.
    This applies directly to AI models as well when it comes to teaching. In real world, majority of teachers just cannot pay individual attention and cannot possibly cater the specific needs of a single student. But with AI, it is very much possible.
    I love this. This ChatGPT wave since November only brought 1 thing in my life. Ease of access to knowledge and understanding. And I'm glad it happened.
    In this video, when that girl conversed with the AI for "The Great Gatsby" assignment. It blew my mind. THIS IS MARVELOUS! Wonderfully presented the capabilities of AI teaching method.

Having the ability to take any math problem from Khan academy, and have it actually guide me through the specifics of what I don't understand is really great. Being able to have my education so personalized for free is just amazing. I also really enjoy the debate feature, I would have loved to have had a debating partner at my finger tips whenever I wanted back in highschool debate club, it feels like having a really good chess bot to practice against. I think I as an individual though can't even fully grasp how amazing this will be on a mass scale, while this has given me access to so many benefits, when this is given to everyone it really could raise the ceiling of what your average person is capable of.

    The Gatsby example is interesting, though I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion. With AI ever-ready with insights, what does that do for our own reasoning capacity.

I can't count the number of times that I've jumped out of bed to write something down that has come to me in my sleep. So, I remain agnostic about this.

    I really appreciated the third way approach he advocated for at the end. As a teacher, I've had concerns about AI (and caught more than a few AI-generated essays), but I also don't want to allow my fear of the ways AI can be abused to make me closed off to any potential benefits. AI is becoming a part of our world whether we like it or not, but, like all tools, we just have to ensure that it is used wisely and ethically and--especially as educators--we have to teach our students how to do the same. I think what Khan academy is doing seems like a great way to show kids how AI can be used in ways that doesn't do their thinking for them, but rather helps them become better thinkers and learners themselves.
