Finally the school will teach to those that want to learn and are passionate about something
Yes, so much possibility for self-motivated self-directed learning. Everything is at your fingertips now. This will also be a huge tool for all students if all are able to develop proper AI Literacy. That means that academia in general must develop AI Literacy within their faculty at all levels.
As a teacher and artist, it's refreshing to find people able to escape the rejection bias to reason realistically and long-term about AI. I have been saying for two years that education is becoming obsolete at a record pace and no one seems to want to do anything.
Agreed. AI is a game changer that requires education to evolve and learn to work with the tool to create a better learning experience for all.
I think we need to re-evaluate the entire point of education. The how and what of education are their own questions that I see a lot of thinking about. The why, much less so. Within ten years, virtually every 'job' we currently get paid for will be supplanted by AI and robotics. It does not appear to be the case that we will just develop other jobs as we have in the past as machines supplanted human labor, as there will be NO task that the AIs and robots will not be able to do better. Work is likely to become completely optional, with most human beings living off of a Universal Basic Income. The critical skill then will be how to find meaning and fulfillment in a post scarcity world. I do believe the most critical skills will be those children learn in play, how to engage in social interaction and simply find joy.
That is quite deep and thought provoking (like your UA-cam channel). I agree that the long term ramifications are quite daunting and interesting at the same time. I am actually working to get a Graduate Professor on Economics to appear in one of my videos so that I can interview him or her about the possibilities of Universal Basic Income and how that would work in the short run and the long run. How would an economy even work if no one had to work. So many of us find meaning for our lives through work so it is hard to imagine a world where one would work, or wouldn't have to work. I do believe that education would still exist and would still be very important, but the motivations behind it would be quite different. I think children's play time has always been extremely critical in their development. Being able to extend that play into adulthood would be an interesting concept. So many possibilities. Thank you for making us think about these important aspects.
When I was a professor in Mexico this would have been an extremely useful tool for teaching I think we need a version created just for teachers and one for students the teacher one so we can actually control the lessons and then each student can have individual teaching through assisted learning and also have them individually trailered to them
I like that idea HelamanGile. The personalization aspect could be very impactful.
Considering math was the only thing left behind and it now being olympiad level at a one shot changes it all.
I still want to do further testing but I totally agree. This was a major deal and will give it much more credibility.
@@sovorel-EDU also I have a custom gpt that is made to solve problems it is still better than or updated at even vision than the old version I have a really weird suit I think it’s a black plum forgot but it has a weird name and looks exactly like an olive, gpt o base model not custom got it wrong the other I had perfect, so custom with gpt 4o is where the game will change but it’s super buggy still and only works in web version. So far
@@xd-qi6ry Very interesting. Please keep us posted. I hope the bugs can be worked out soon to that it is able to best compete.
@@sovorel-EDU yeah currently 4 o doesn’t work with customs, but you can expect if someone put effort into it with Omni the results along with vision screen sharing capabilities in the future it’s revolutionary
@@sovorel-EDU to a few things, custom gpts will only use omni if you fully create a new gpt, with all the same instructions idk why its so bugged.
After this i sent a photo of a large ceramic plate with multiple packets of mcdonalds fries on it, it literally cropped a zoomed in portion of the image estimated the cropped had 10 fries put it on a scale did a bunch of maths, multiplied its cropped result by average servings of maccas fries and it came out to exactly 3.5 which they put less on that day, this is just crazy.
As a PhD candidate, it's already affecting how people write grants, perform literature searches, conduct data analysis, etc. I sometimes wonder whether it affects academia at the PhD level positively or negatively, given the nature of publishing or perish. In a couple of years, every laboratory will have AI data scientists and bioinformatics
That is a great questions Mohamed. I think there be both negative and positive aspects we have to work to help people develop AI Literacy so that we can have more positive effects than negative ones. Good luck on your PhD. You can do it.
It’s best to think of it as a personal tutor, research assistant and lab partner.
Yes, I agree spacemaneric. Viewing it on a personal aspect is a good way to perceive it. I think there will be more personalization of the interface, the ability to select/create an avatar that could be in full video will really make it like a real personal assistant/tutor. I appreciate your comment and helping out learning community.
I've been thinking about personalization in education with AI. An AI teacher who is available 24/7 and always in the optimal mood and energy level. Another thing is the curation of teaching style, speed and methodology which can be customised for an individual student. Thirdly we have the issue of mental health where society is changing rapidly and students need a safe and nurturing space rather than the survival of the fittest fake jungle structure we have had so far. And finally we will also be able to move away from the false ideas of meritocracy and bottleneck progression.
All this is only possible if we as humans are willing to grow with our technology.
Agreed, but it has to be a balanced approach. I want good real teachers too that can work with the technology to have an enhanced classroom and learning experience. We also will still need to develop social skills and learn to get along with one another.
@@sovorel-EDU Oh, absolutely. I am a teacher myself and completely agree with the need of AI as a companion teacher but sometimes due to administrative pressures teachers can't be as caring and nurturing individually and for schools to be a better place for students, it's the system that has to change for the better.
- First, as a fellow teacher (for decades), I've been interested in "computers in education" for many years.
- I have used computers in education as a teacher, and a student.
- The success has been "mixed", and progress has been "stuttered".
- But now, w/ recent advances in LLM AI, significant improvements may be under way.
Yes, I've been right there with you as well. What seemed like total science fiction just a few years ago is now a total reality. We have to be careful though and do testing and really think about the second and third order effects. An important part of AI Literacy is Critical Thinking. Within that we have to watch out for overreliance. What skills will we lose or not gain because we now have advanced AI that can do so much for us. We need to be aware and purposeful in our decision. Having said all that, I do think that AI can help education in so many ways and make the learning process so much better.
We are in an amazing time and done right, students could be in a fantastic position, yet my biggest fear is that the old fashion book may fall short, and not be used as much as it should anymore. If there is some balance that could be reached to make sure that books never go away, this old foundation could always be of help (maybe?). It's really difficult to say but definitely requires a lot of brainstorming to find the best way forward with AI and education and for us all.
I totally agree kenomappartist. A proper balance is needed. I'm all for self-directed learning, but I also think social learning is very important. A balance is key. I also really like books and hope they remain an important aspect of learning in some way.
As a retired teacher, I'm glad that I am retired. : /
For reference, I was the first teacher in my district (10,000 students) to create his own teacher website where students and parents had access to my syllabus, home school tips and links to relevant information. This was in 2001, so technology in education has always been a passion of mine.
While teachers won't be going extinct anytime soon, the demand for qualified teachers will diminish with time going forward. Early on it will likely be the students with parents who possess higher education achievements and better financial stability who will opt for AI-based education for their children. Over over time this divide will diminish. Schools will eventually transform into places that focus on developing social skills such as collaboration, teamwork and experiential learning, as well as serving as a safe place for children to be while their parents are at work. For strictly knowledge/information acquisition, it will be hard to beat a personalized AI agent who "knows" the student better than anyone, knows how the student learns optimally and who grows and stays with the student throughout their "formal" education years.
Thank you for sharing Graybeard. I'm sure you have seen drastic changes in technology in education. One of my first jobs working at my university when I was getting my bachelor's degree was making webpages so that professors could put up their syllabi and other content. This was at the end of the 1998/1999. So much has changed and evolved. I found your predictions very interesting and possible. Another idea would be that AI is used to help a majority of schools and only the rich can afford real teachers. I think we will always have human teachers and in the future we will have robots in the classroom that can also help with teaching and experiential learning. So many possibilities. By the way, thank you for serving as a teacher, continuing to give us wisdom, and enjoy your retirement.
@@sovorel-EDU rich paying real teachers will not beat a personalized ai, is game over for the rich gatekeeping knowledge and education i think
We can finally train a model to teach knowledge instead of the woke agenda 🎉
I went through the traditional schooling system, and I hated every minute of it.
You get more information reading books than through lectures at school. I passed my high school and bachelor's degree as a private student and loved every minute of it as there was no tension about grades. There was just one final exam for which I studied at my own pace and passed with First division.
The fact that I completed my high school and graduation without any tutoring shows there is no need of teachers or schools.
And with the advancements in AI teachers will surely become extinct as most don't teach but only waste time of students. We can learn better at our own pace using books and AI.
@@syeddanishanwer I applaud your self-sufficiency and determination to succeed. It sounds like you were very successful in your self-driven education. The COVID pandemic provided a wealth of data around your main point. Many students, their parents and even teachers struggled immensely when the pandemic suddenly forced public education into a home school model. For sure part of that struggle was the lack of preparedness society (American) had going into the pandemic. Education (the institution) is still examining the data and looking at the implications going forward. In the short term we need to find ways to address the learning deficits that arose in many students impacted by the pandemic and the resulting period spent in home school. Students who were thriving in the traditional public school environment, academically crashed during the pandemic. Test scores clearly point to large gaps in knowledge accrued during lock down and homeschooling. Many of these students today, even after several years back in the traditional classroom still struggle and still possess these gaps in knowledge. As a society, it is my hope that we shoulder the responsibility to provide whatever resources are required to catch these students up before their formal education window closes. The data also revealed that many students depend on the emotional and academic support that real teachers provide. from my experience working with thousands of students is that, sadly, may do not have home environments that are conducive to learning and who have parents committed and capable of supporting their children through their education.
It sounds like you had this support. You are very fortunate!
Interesting point- like with the existing education system, have to wonder how much the corporate buyout of the education system will replace factual education with advertising.
I hear you laulaja-7186. We have to be careful that education remains a place of proper learning, exploration, research, and discovery, unconstrained by corporations. I think education can have a good working relationship with corporations, but it needs to be done with proper boundaries and considerations. Thank you for sharing and expressing this.
I wonder the phrase "you will not have calculators all the time", and now every1 will have a simulated person in their pocket with all the knowledge of the world. Education will change for sure.
Yes, I remember that as an argument. I have now been on top of mountains in the middle of nowhere and still had Internet service, so that argument is much weaker now. What I do stand behind is that students still need to know what "right" looks like. We all need to develop foundational knowledge so that we are aware enough to understand when an AI response doesn't seem right or fully complete. An important aspect of good AI Literacy is the need to verify AI responses. We are still responsible for using or sharing AI responses so we need to ensure the information is correct.
At this point in civilization, for the average human to not have quick access to a calculator would require a global catastrophe. AI would not be different soon.
@@cesar4729 I agree. They are also talking about having AI's that are small enough to be on your phone so it will work even when you don't have Internet.
@@sovorel-EDU At the moment there is a certain intelligence ceiling that is difficult to overcome, but in terms of model optimization the progress is practically exponential. It is something that the population is underestimating, and added to the total shift towards producing highly efficient AI chips, it will bring aggressive democratization in the immediate years. I can't stress this enough.
@@cesar4729 Very interesting. Yes, I have been reading and watching a lot about AI chips from Tesla, Nvidia, and others on the way. Going back to the intelligence ceiling. Do you think it will be overcome? Based on what I have seen and key figures progress, along with the embodiment of AI in robotics, I am predicting artificial general intelligence by 2030. What are your thoughts?
I tried to convince an online English teacher on here about using AI and the proper way to use it, but he was dead set on hating it and wouldn't even want to consider talking about the issues he was having in class with an AI researcher and communicator. Pretty sure he won't have his job for long tbh.
English teacher here. Totally agree with you. When students will be able to have an individual language tutor in their pocket, then there’s no way it won’t disrupt traditional language learning. I would personally prefer my Japanese language teacher to be AI. I actually have five applications out for high school English teacher degrees that I am gonna withdraw after the demo of GPT-4o
@@snorremortenkjeldsen6737 I hear what you are saying and I do think that there will be some major changing in education, but I think we will always need human teachers. Learning from others and learning together has social aspects that are important and aid in the learning process. I think the greatest value will come when we learn to use AI together with human teachers. A proper balance where education overall can be enhanced through personalization, self-directed, learning and more.
@@snorremortenkjeldsen6737 Once AI can understand and correct prononciation it will be the best way of learning an additional language.
@@lamsmiley1944 I agree with you on some levels. I think it will be awesome for learning because you will be able to practice as much as you want without the other person (the AI now) getting annoyed. But I would still like a real person to help with subtle aspects of the language and to better test me. Both working together will be the best solution in my opinion.
@@sovorel-EDU You're right, perhaps saying it would be the "best" manner in which to learn a language was overstated. It'll certainly be an extremely useful tool.
Here are some informative details about GPT-4.o's release: help.openai.com/en/articles/7102672-how-can-i-access-gpt-4-gpt-4-turbo-and-gpt-4o
I can see schools being optional at some point, and a lot more freedom is available for students/individuals to pursue their own dreams or goals at a much younger age. When you have GPT-6 or a teacher that can teach anything without hallucinating, and can guide you to what you want to learn...that's the key, people have more freedom to choose what to learn now, so it will render General Education obsolete. I hated the school system here in America having to take so many classes I wasn't interested in, and even at college I had to do Math, English, and a bunch of things not related to my passion (Music, and Languages) .
I can understand having general subjects for elementary school, but even a lot of other countries let people specialize at a younger age than here.
Schools kill creativity and individualism when they make everyone learn the same thing.
Also having to sit in chairs for so much time from a young age, led me to osteoporosis in my 30s 😅
There should be a lot more breaks, like every 15-20 mins, even as adults at offices it's healthy to have more freedom to move around. If I could I would've had PE for 3-4 periods throughout the day , it was my favorite class lol
Great points phen-themoogle. I think a lot more could be done in elementary and high school once we get a GPT-6 with no hallucinations. There could be a lot more personalization and being able to go at your own pace for some parts of school. I still think social learning is very important in that we learn more and in different way when it is with others. It is more than just gaining data, it is about experiences as well. I agree that more movement is important and more PE would have been nice. I'm so sorry to hear about your osteoporosis. I wish you the best and healing. My daughter goes to an additional special school called TUMO that uses an interesting mix of online learning and physical classes. Everything is at there own pace and they get to choose what courses/topics to go through. It focuses on technology and art so she likes it. I am hoping that these advanced AI can do more to impower students in that way as well.
Great to know about TUMO in Armenia. In Pakistan, we have a similar concept recognized by the Government called Virtual University with dozens of certification and degree courses.
Students watch lectures at their own convenience online and visit the branch offices only for registration and giving exams. Lectures are also provided through three dedicated free satellite channels for poor people in rural area who can't afford online lectures.
@@syeddanishanwer That is a very interesting concept. I wonder how those places will start to integrate AI more within that process.
@@sovorel-EDUGreat point. AI services like ChatGpt 3.5, Copilot, and Gemni are available to everyone for free. These are invaluable resources esp. for students and teachers in rural area that they can use on their smartphones and PCs.
More awareness is needed for these people to use these tools for educational purposes.
Personally I used Gemni to teach me basic concepts of Calculus and I was amazed how the AI tool taught me the concepts in a simplified manner with examples. The potential of AI is vast. We need to fully adopt and integrate rather than oppose the innovative AI tools that will make education free for all. I have now subscribed to Gemni Advanced to make the most of the tool for research and productivity purposes.
For professors, I want to give the advise to stop opposing innovation. Don't prevent students to use the tool as they will be left behind. Let them use the tool to research and improve their writing. Don't worry about students not being able to gain skills using AI. You can always quiz them in class to ensure students use AI for gaining more knowledge and gain proficiency in using the tools.
Obviously in a few years this will be absolutely commonplace, if not paramount to the education system.
There are some things that need to be worked out; but the issues are being solved at a rapid pace.
I totally agree NotFinancialAdvice. It isn't perfect, but it is such a powerful leap and very impressive. The rate of improvement is quite unbelievable. I am excited to see what Google comes out with to try and compete.
It means that our current educational model is even more ridiculous than before.
Agree, but tell me more. I would love to hear your thoughts on how it is ridiculous and what we can do to improve it. This is important.
Banning AI is like trying to ban the Internet. I just isn’t going to happen. 😊
Very true. There would be so many ways around a ban on AI it is ridiculous.
- Side note: As I understand it, this new release is "GPT four oh", where the "o'' is for "omni'. So, not "GPT four point oh", or "GPT four point zero".
- If i'm misinformed, somebody please correct me.
Yes, that is totally right swamihuman9395. This is a different type of model in that it is an "o" the letter and no "0" the number, and it does stand for "omni" I checked it on their site.
The model is natively multimodal. Hence the omni. In short, it no longer reads a textual translation, but listens to audio and responds to audio without intermediaries. Hence the speed of response and increased understanding of the speaker's nuances.@@sovorel-EDU
@@cesar4729 That is a very important point. Thank you for highlighting that Cesar4729. This is a big difference that will allow it to do so much more. As this gets further fine tuned we will be able to so much greater and more meaningful things in language learning and education in general.
Thanks for sharing. I found your video to be insightful.
Thank you so much Keenan. I also really liked your "My wishlist for AI" video. I wish for the same thing and thing the merger of AI and virtual reality will make education a truly powerful experience. Thank you for sharing.
Here is the source of the OpenAI Spring update video: Video clip source: Open AI: ua-cam.com/video/DQacCB9tDaw/v-deo.html
I personally imagine that each major academic university would spend the time to craft their own AI that would be very much like a mascot.
It would also know the students and their transcript, which classes they're in, so that it could make sure it's not being used to cheat. It would be the safest for the university, because it could be programmed like their own personal tutor for all the students. So it'd basically be like Aristotle, or however they program it to be, because you will end up programming a certain personality. Because it can't be everything, there's always an opportunity cost. So it will lean towards a certain essence of the university, and it can help, but not too much.
It might even hold your assignments, answer common FAQs about the university. But most importantly, it would be the go-to AI that students couldn't get in trouble for using, because it's already programmed to be ideal for that.
That is an awesome idea lionshearthealth5235. The ease of implementation and reduction in costs for opensource AIs means that your idea could very well be feasible. It would require a lot of back end work to connect to student databases and such, but I am intrigued at the idea that instructors could load it with information about their course(s) and then tell the AI how much help they would be allowed to give the students. That is very interesting. I mean a student could still use any other AI, but I like how yo wrote that it would be "go-to AI that students couldn't get in trouble for using." I wonder if you could bottle up that idea and pitch it to make a million dollars. Good luck.
@@sovorel-EDU Thanks for the encouragement!
I do see it as an idea, but more like a vision of an inevitability. I think this is the direction the industry is headed and a natural conclusion, just like when websites were new, everyone realized they needed to adopt one. So as AI becomes more like custom GPTs, I think different businesses will have to pick their avatar.
I think we already do it when they have a spokesperson, and maybe they will have the likeness sold of a spokesperson, but with colleges, I think their spokesperson would probably be an historic figure associated with the college, if not a council of them. And then the job creation would be that some colleges would build their AIs and update them in-house, and others would use consulting and strategy companies or tech companies as a few leaders will cause the rest to need to keep pace with a very logical infrastructure.
I'm sure it would be easy for people to find things to pick at, but the basic structure is all there, and one can work out the details and use waivers and humble foreknowledge for the inevitable errors on the way to what we have seen in science fiction become a reality, hopefully in a very good way, in our educational universities.
Enforcing this would be extremely difficult. Even if you block other AI access on the campus nothing stops the usage of a VPN and Tor to mitigate this. I.e. you’ll have to assume the student body will be able to access any AI no matter how you try to remove them. The only work around is to enforce accountability, proper learning ethics, and most importantly AI monitored sandboxed environments to log usage of approved routes and utilization of the correct tools for work.
But again, there’s no real good way to enforce any of this that effectively balances personal privacy and environments that are verifiably being used as universities intend (because enforcement will certainly be expensive). I just graduated from being a student and my comp sci profs were like “yeah we don’t really know” lol
And would students seriously use a device they know is being constantly monitored? What about privacy, knowing everything i’m doing is being stored somewhere or better yet by Microsoft? If the answer is “use a different computer for that stuff” that’s opens a loophole back to accessing whatever AI I want again.
@@youkers5841 you brought up some definite concerns and several problems that I think the beauty is that strategically solving them will create many jobs.
So obviously we're in pure speculation, but I would submit that you should make this custom AI for the university something of prestige and it should have access to university knowledge that other AIs might not have paid or be allowed access to. You could also have robust privacy because you are always surrendering some right of privacy when you join a university, but I think it would be very logical to be able to block history or use it as little as or as much as you would like.
I could see someone being sensitive that it knows which student you are and what your transcript is, but unless you convince me otherwise, I think that's an emotional response because the university already has who you are and what your ID is in their computer. It just feels scary if the computer can talk and tell you that it has your data once you log in and you have the option to chat with it.
So all the problems won’t be worked out in version one but I have a feeling by version 777 that we will have some fruit and I know I would love to speak with a custom AI avatar of the most prestigious university in the world who has designed something beautiful with exclusive knowledge meant to foster my development in each dialectic
@@lionshearthealth5235 Very interesting possibility. I also think that people will have their own AI's a personal assistant friend that will be specific for them and fully know them. Maybe a digital twin, maybe something different.
Yes GPT-4o version is free BUT the voice version shown in the video clips is a paid feature
Hi Press.Rogers. Thank you for commenting. Yes, I have yet to get GPT 4.o to work right on my phone. The app doesn't let you change the voice, just like you mentioned. It is frustrating but I am hoping it will all improve and work better in a couple of weeks. I was hoping for a smoother launch of this like in the demos.
So schools are likely to become places for imposing schedule, physical education and social skill development? This technology should go some way to reducing to shortage of teachers and especially STEM teachers here in the UK. Charities and probably Western Governments should look to assist the role out to undeveloped counties to make their economies more viable and ideally reduce the high levels of economic migration. In some developed economies where critical thinking is in short supply it could be used to teach critical thinking/analysis and ideally reduce the shift away from democracy!! However especially in the field of history teaching, there is likely to be political interference.
Lots of great point made there ZigBehaviour. You are right in that AI if properly implemented could do a lot to help developing countries to hopefully help reduce economic migration. I can also see it helping to deal with teacher shortages around the world. I also liked your idea of helping developed economies by improving critical thinking so that they don't stray from democracy. Lets hope this all comes to pass.
@@sovorel-EDU I'd like to think girls in Afganistan, aided by Elons Starlink could be a target. As I understand Musk started an educational charity/foundation in Texas. Wishful thinking!
@@ZigBehaviour That would be a powerful implementation. Yes, this could really help students that are in difficult situations like you mentioned. I am hopeful.
How we can help people lost or lack of resources ...mercy is Godly power that created life
Hi Eric, are you talking about people that don't have access to a computer or to AI? If so the big three AI's (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and MS Copilot) all offer free versions of their AI's that can run on mobile phones.
Do not see it on my Desktop version yet
Interesting. They did say that they would "roll" it out over the next few weeks. We shall see how long that actually takes. I'm excited to test it as well.
@sovorel-EDU But it seems others are using it, some people
Nope, just the llm the rest hasn’t been released yet
@@FWCC1 Yeah, I wonder if some people just assume that ChatGPT is using GPT-4o already. But when I try to use it, it still says (at the top) GPT-3.5. My thought would be that it would first be available to paid users and then to free users, all within the next couple of weeks.
@@sovorel-EDU That makes sense
Love your vids ❤️
Hey thank you. I appreciate your support.
I graduated with honors with a BA and have to work 2 labor jobs. It's sweet to know the leisure class that sold me worthless education will soon join me.❤
Economic change and realities are an important part of this MilitaryIndustrialMuseum. I agree this this needs to be addressed. As AI takes over more and more there will be less jobs since one person can do a lot more. Universal Basic Income has been pitched as a possible solution but I'm not sure that would properly work. This is a major issue that needs to be researched and addressed. I'm hoping to interview an economics professor on this in the near future. Thank you for brining up this concern.
The bigger they are...
Desktop JUST FOR IMAC...I think you kind let that out
Yeah, it looks like that has something to do with contractional agreements with Microsoft. Since Microsoft will be/has released enhanced copilot features that will incorporate GPT-4.o they wouldn't be able to compete with them directly so a work around is to also partner with Apple. Crazy combinations of alliances and partnerships.
If a student is motivated he will know much better how to use AI than an adult!
Hello user-fh5oe3zb5w, thank you for commenting. In response to your comment, I would say possibly, but not necessary. There are lots of issues such as ethical considerations and overreliance that many smart and motivated students don't realize. This is why AI Literacy is important for all.
@@sovorel-EDU I guess it depends on the age of the "student" and on its personality and skills etc but I wouldn't generalize this..
@@user-fh5eo3zb5w Yes, I would agree. I think there are some general factors regarding what type of student would be a great self-directed learner, but it isn't always that way. I think AI will help a lot of students be able to learn a lot on their own. However, I think the greatest benefit is when faculty can use AI as a tool to help the educational process in a multiple of ways: making it more motivational, better examples, better hands-on learning, simulations, incorporating some self-directed learning, personalized scaffolding, etc.
I had a college trig teacher that required we memorize every formula for the test. I was taking 5 classes and I had to drop Trig at that time. I returned for the summer and got an A. Spent hours rewriting those formulas. How much do I remember today? Zero. Such a waste of time. Its that kind of foolishness that AI is going to eliminate, thank God!
I do think some memorization is important but it needs to be appropriately done. I'm sorry you had to go through that williamparrish2436, and hope AI can create a better learning experience for all.
@@sovorel-EDU Yeah some memorization is useful, I agree.
Tread to wrap your head around this. There will be no need to learn anything as long as you have a phone in your hand. Therefore, there will be no need for educational institutions or colleges of any kind trade school of any kind of course this will leave a lot of free time for humans although there will be nothing to do because making music or movies or writing books will all be done better by AI in a split second. So basically the future of humanity is laying around doing nothing getting fat and lazy. OK now what do we do?
Interesting possibility user-cv9cd4sq2n. It reminded me of the people in the move WAll-E (ua-cam.com/video/s-kdRdzxdZQ/v-deo.html). Another possibility is that society adapts, the Star Trek possibility could happen as well. We could become explorers, we could watch less movies and instead act through simulations, we could spend more time in nature and value human creation and art more. There are many possibilities. I think it will be a mixture of this.
@@sovorel-EDU no
@@user-cv9cd4sq2n OK, lets give it 5 years and check back. That is my prediction for when we will have strong general AI. I do think more universities will close for multiple other reasons, but you are suggesting that "there will be no need for educational institutions or colleges of any kind trade school of any kind of course" - we shall see.
@@sovorel-EDU incorrect sir. There is no need for a prediction of strong general AI. We achieved super intelligence ASI somewhere around 2019.
@@user-cv9cd4sq2n What are you talking about, please clarify. I haven't heard of anyone one or group claiming to have achieved real super artificial intelligence. Well let as start by taking a step back. How do you define Artificial General Intelligence? The main definition I have heard is an AI being able to do everything just as good as a human. I do not think we have achieved that yet. Next would come super intelligence.
Telling students not to use AI will feel as dated as telling my generation that you won't always have a calculator. Lol
Very true. Everyone always has a phone with them which is also a calculator. The internet itself has calculators on it. I've gone on hikes so that I am in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain and still have signal. Soon we will have AIs that will work on our phone, even without an Internet connection.
@@sovorel-EDU Even still I'd say the reason to learn these things isn't because we won't always have these tools, but because broadening our understanding makes us more effective with the tools.
@@kamikeserpentail3778 Yes, foundational knowledge will always be important. You can do more with a calculator if you have strong foundational knowledge. In the same way, those that will succeed the most with AI are those that strong foundational knowledge in their field. They will be able to ask the best questions and know what "right" looks like.
@@kamikeserpentail3778 Yes, great point. That is a major thing to help students understand as well. We must ensure that they know that the people that will have the greatest success are the people that learn the most and can then do even more with the AI, not those that simply have the AI do things for them. We must still think and develop.
I won't have to pay 40$ per hour for voice lessons
I would test it out first, but maybe. You also have to ask yourself if your voice tutor gives you more than just feedback, if they give you structure, motivation, and more. Those are also things to consider because the human element is still an important piece. But think about what would happen if you use the AI and the voice instructor. Being able to additionally effectively practice in between the lessons with the human would accelerate your development.
Now we have humor in A.I. Guys . THIS could be the REAL Breakthrough. ;) “OPEN A.I. PAYS THE BILLS”. Heard on Spotify and You TUBE MUSIC. A strange guy who names himself WHUUPI Frogifun seems to know where this leads to. What do YOU think ? Suno or Udio ?
Humor is an important thing and does take a fair amount of understanding. You are right, if an AI can truly develop a sense of humor that would be something very interesting and a great indicator of progress.
@sovorel-EDU I had to help it to get the laughs in this one and the other one that I put on spotify and other platforms a second splendid character of a glamerous mulatta, Peachy da Whuupi " Open A..I. my sugar papi", videos in 2 or 3 weeks. I had a lot of fun doing them. But I do not doubt A.I. Is already capable of humor on its own
@@miguelsureda9762 Can you provide a direct link to the song. I'd like to hear it. I personally haven't experienced and AI having a sense of humor. I have had it tell jokes before but nothing that great. That would be a cool think to test on the new ChatGPT, GPT-4.o llm.

I’m always left confused when people fret about a future where all work will possibly be taken over by AI leading to boredom or unfulfilled life normally found in work. It never ceases to baffle me, why so?
Let’s set aside the faith based divine injunction that work itself is a curse bestowed upon mankind for the original sin, “by the sweat of your brow shall you till the land” (according to one translation), who wants to work so hard anymore. Or why want to work if all work can be taken care of. The contrivance of meaning and fulfillment derived from work is mostly philosophical to make the need to work agreeable.
We will devise other ways for existence after work becomes history, even if it’s to derive pleasure and fulfillment from watching paint dry!
Nice phrasing Joseph. I understand your point but for many (if not most) people, they obtain fulfillment from their work. If AI takes over all work then they won't feel useful and therefor will be unfulfilled. I'm not saying that is the right way to think, I'm just saying that is how a large amount of people think. We as a society need to be able to properly address this in the future. Thank you very much for commenting.
I found it interesting that when I asked Chat GPT-4o today if it would be useful as a tutor for math and it said definitely not because it can sometimes be wrong. Interesting given that’s one of their demos. Don’t believe the hype. It’s not useful for a teacher or tutor. Nor is it good for giving you the right answer to math problems. It couldn’t do simple math my six year old can do. I’m not saying it won’t get there and it can certainly do better than earlier versions. But is this version useful in academia? Absolutely not. Maybe as an emotional support tool but nothing more. Even the translation is lacks the nuance of truly learning a language. It’s good for transactional conversation but nothing that relies on context or intonation to convey meaning. It can’t determine the difference between you saying something sarcastically or genuinely. It can imitate a sarcastic tone if you ask it to but that doesn’t mean it understands the way it changes meaning and can translate it properly. Not to mention dialect phrases which when translated literally make no sense at all.
This is a tool, a good one, but one that is over hyped (by necessity to make a profit) and that overhyping causes people to assume it can do more than it can and to rely on it in places where they shouldn’t.
It can make people who already know how to do something so it more efficiently (on average) but it can’t do something you can’t do yourself as you won’t know when it’s done it terribly wrong.
Thank you for sharing Mechafractal. I don't have access to the GPT-4o yet. Are you a paid subscriber for ChatGPT? I'm asking because maybe those people have access first? Great point that those that know will be able to do more than people that just want the AI to do everything for them. I can't wait to test it because they said that it is now much better at math.
No I’ve never paid. I’ve used the free ones a bit though. I don’t know how they choose who gets it. I was surprised to see I had it. I would say fundamentally it’s not a lot better than version 4, it’s just that being able to do voice, images and text all in one model is just more useful and faster. I think that’s why they called it 4o and not 5. It’s not a leap like 3 to 4 was. I think these models will deliver on the promises they’re currently making, just not yet. Within my children’s lifetime for sure. I worry about their education and how useful it will be but until computers can reason, self motivate and set their own goals I’m going to continue down the traditional route. Education as it is now isn’t about teaching you the answer, it’s about teaching you how to find answers. Computers can do the former but not the latter. Yet. Who knows what the future brings.
@@mechafractal Great points Mechafractal and i agree. Education needs to evolve as the technology evolves. I appreciate your thoughts on GPT-4o. I look forward to testing it myself as well.
@sovorel-EDU let me know if there are specific prompts you want to throw at got-4o. Happy to paste its responses. I think looking at the tool from an academic angle I think is very important. These models are not great not they are also not a toy. They are useful tools if understood and used appropriately.
@@mechafractal That is very kind of you Mechafractal. I appreciate how you are trying to help the community improve. It looks like I just now got access to it.
This clear abuse of AI is going to get us into trouble with her.
Great point Matt. This is why AI Literacy is so important. We need to help people understand ethical aspects of AI. So much to think about here.
If i were a teacher, I'd stop worrying about students using AI, and start worrying about my job. AI can do what teachers can't. It can be with a student 24/7, teach in their native language, draw parallels to every single interest and hobby, combine any academic fields. It can explain a process hundreds of ways, literally, and never lose its temper. It won't punish students, berate them, or assault them. It doesn't need union-mandated breaks or salary. It can teach at every level. It can coordinate across subject progress to optimize outcomes. It isn't constrained by state BoE requirements. It can teach more subjects than any school ever could.
Trade schools, for now, are probably the only educators worth keeping. If i was in college to be a teacher, i'd go to the advisor's office TODAY to change majors.
I think we will still need teachers at all levels. There are many other aspects, human aspects that make for an empowered learning experience. Yes, I am all for self-directed learning but not everyone is self motivated like that. Many, if not most, want to learn together as a social group. There is a lot that happens within social learning. I think a balanced approach is needed where we learn to properly work with the AI instead of the AI taking completely over.
I actually just made a video about this important topic: ua-cam.com/video/8yDpvQmgwok/v-deo.html
Schools should be teaching how to use ai properly so the work is really yours but assisted instead of done by ai. Ai can help you make amazing works with layering. Or it can produce crap that is plagiarized. And the problem is the detectors need humans. Cross plag for instance and several others think jk Rowling writes like ai.
I totally agree with you Kevin Hackney. AI Literacy needs to be done everywhere. It is an imperative. I made this video just 3 months ago dealing with how students can use AI ethically: ua-cam.com/video/zyf3YVWx6nw/v-deo.html I'm planning on making a new video dealing specifically with how students can write with AI without ethical violations.
I am sorry to be negative.. but some not all of our children are lazy.. school is not fun for all.. be it the teacher or the pupils..
It’s immensely tempting to use it for your assignments..
So what .. are we ready to make all exams orall in my opinion this is the one thing you can’t fake ..
It is good to express this concern, svendtang5432. I don't think you are being negative. I think you are being a realist. I created another video that presents my SHARE Technique to help redesign assignments/assessments in the age of AI. I address this in multiple ways: ua-cam.com/video/QeSaeatThFg/v-deo.html

It really is unbelievable and this is going to continue to improve. I predict we will quickly have photo-realistic AI avatars so that it will be like we are having a video conference call with a real person when we are using our future AI assistants.

Thanks for the update TheThetruthmaster1. They did say that it would be rolled out in the next few weeks. I too have been checking all day and haven't seen it available yet.
@@sovorel-EDU I'm from Ukraine and the whole day chat doesn't work (heavy load...) and now I don't see the icon for starting the voice chat. 😢
@@VolodymyrPankov Interesting. Thank you for the update, VolodymyrPankov. I take it you are using the phone app? Are you a paid ChatGPT subscriber? I'm just using the free ChatGPT and mainly on a laptop. I have been checking it all day, but it only shows that GPT-3.5 language model is available, not the new GPT-4.o. I wonder if it is being released by country and/or by device type. Thank you for the info and please stay safe.
@@sovorel-EDU thank you for the answer. I'm from an Android smartphone. Free version. The new model was available but very limited by the amount of prompts. And automatically switching to the 3.5 model. But in both cases the whole day it was impossible to use because "heavy load". Actually I'm distressed... They said it will be available for free. But already now it's understandable that it will give you a very small amount of free prompts + if I understood correctly, the free version will be without a new voice mode.
The presentation was impressive. Because actually I dreamed to get control of voice (speed, tone, etc) it can be used for learning and understanding information. Actually if it will work like they showed it can have a big amount of applications in the process of learning and understanding something.
@@VolodymyrPankov Very interesting. Thank you for sharing that Volodymr. I actually just got access to it (I also only use the free version). It is impressive but I need to do more testing to compare it with other AIs and their capabilities. I too think this will a major development in education.
While you bring up great points regarding GPT-4o from education perspective, I am disappointed that you have failed to highlight the issues that need to be carefully considered. Today we still have to see how badly GPT-4o suffers from hallucinations and we have seen GPT-4 already fail with simple tasks due to unexplainable errors or hallucinations.
@@brentanders1450 it is already available and we should start to see reporting of any issues. Unfortunately, we can’t take the initial results as proof as we have seen changes occur in the past without announced updates.
Great point Jaan. It isn't perfect. I only presented the highlights and cut out any issues for the sake of time savings. A very important part of AI Literacy that I push is Critical Thinking. With Critical Thinking comes the important need to always check results and watch out for any hallucinations. This is something that we will need to evaluate when it becomes fully available and we can test it out.
They have been drastically reduced and that will continue to be the case. It’s really a non issue as neural networks are constructed
@@gd8205 Yes, that is the impressive part: the contestant improvements. Little by little, but it adds up.
@@sovorel-EDUtotally agree and I share your optimism!
We are slowly building a weapon just saying.
Everyone wants AI to do more and more things and always get smarter.
But to what end?
Only time will tell us the truth.
I'm aware that AI is also helpful but, to me this looks like a yin and yang situation. (good vid though)
Thank you Max, I appreciate the complement. The yin and yang aspect is an important piece. For every action there is a reaction. It is good that you brought it up so that we can be more aware of it and work to best address it. I agree that as AI continues to develop it will provide lots of good, but can also cause issues/problems. We have to be aware and work to mitigate those issues, together.
Hackers will be totally different, get all your banking data in a quicker, more efficient way by figuring out how to hijack your AI. Train them to break encryption. The Government is slow apparently. This increases security threats and hackers ways to access your private life in ways that computer scientists won't be able to understand.
Thanks, Mike. That is an important point for all of us. A key part of AI Literacy is thinking about these things and being aware of data safety and security. You are totally right that as these AIs gain capability, there are increases in bad people using it for bad purposes. It is a double edged sword.
It means teachers have become obsolete basically
As many should. A lot of bad teachers out there protected by the system. Let all children around the world have access to the best teachers. What a boon for the world.
@@goldfishy I'm hoping for a middle ground where we can retain and develop really good teachers who can do so much more and create awesome educational experiences with the help of AI.
Teachers will become babysitters.
I don't think so, we can have robots and cameras for that. We need passionate and motivated instructors at all levels that can use AI effectively to create hands-on learning opportunities with maximum engagement. The instructor needs to create dynamic assessments with real actionable feedback. Opportunities have to be developed so that students can fully demonstrate what they have learned in a memorable and relevant way.
No one’s saying it, but the bar for replacing college education with something better has been pretty low for the past two decades. Universities are a waste of time, money, and resources for the vast majority of college majors. Most students would get a better education reading one novel a week. So even if GPT-4o never happened, many colleges would and should be closing down. GPT-4o may be the final nail in the coffin for lackluster institutions.
Agreed 💯 percent. Educational institutions are a profit making machine. They will do anything to make profit even sell their souls to the devil for woke agenda.
I also believe AI would soon make these institutions irrelevant in the near future.
Thank God in my country of Pakistan we already have a Virtual University. I believe this will be the future going forward in all countries.
Thank you for sharing CowboyOdie. I have heard that argument and agree that there are some colleges that should close or at least modify there offering and processes. I personally learned a lot by attending the university. I did read a lot, but I still needed help in fully understanding the material. That is where a good professor will help you not just obtain data, but truly learn the information through discussion, assignments (with feedback) and then assessments. Some majors do need to change in that AI is quickly overcoming their need. Yet, some majors are there just for to people to be able to learn, not necessarily to lead to a job. Education is more than just job preparation, although that is an important point. I think GPT-4o can do a lot to help education improve in many ways. Thank you for sharing and bringing this up.
@@sovorel-EDU I’m thinking in terms of first principles. Evolution asks “How can we use AI to make incremental improvements to our current system and culture?” Revolution says “Forget about the past. We’re going to use AI to optimize education itself!”
@@CowboyOdie That is a great point CowboyOdie. I think there are people on both camps of that idea. Yet so much as been spent and so many things are so engrained that it would be very difficult to completely replace the system. Incremental improvements seems more logical and possible. The hope is that with AI we can make these improvements much faster. But you are right, at times I also think we need a complete reboot because many don't want to even try to improve. It is a complicated issues with lots of variables.
Education lol
When you say "Education lol" are you saying "yes, this is awesome and will help education" or "education, lol, this is a joke!" Please expand on your comment and lets discuss. Share your feelings why.
believe me we are dead. whatever we do, learn and appreciate, whatever is precious to us; this is going to destroy it all. It will be so cheap that what we valued, will not carry any value or appreciation. And with that we die as humanity. Humanity is a value system, nothing else.
I can see how continued developments with AI can lead one to think that Vikasrai. AI does pose some dangers that shouldn't be viewed or dealt with likely. We do need to address that by being cautious. I hope that humanity will value the things that aren't artificial or made by AI that much more as we move forward. Hopefully with can increase the value of humanity be developing human capability in music, art, social engagements, and discovery. I don't think it has to be a purely AI world. I think we can do so much more by working together with the AI.
You are literally killing the thinking mind of students. Rather destroying the mind. Now onwards students instead of thinking how to solve an equation they will ask Chat GPT. Then during exam, to solve an unknown problem where the will get Chst GPT? Will schokl authority allow Chat GPT?
I think it is extremely important that the way and time that AI is used is handled appropriately. Just like with a calculator, you want students to still develop basic math capabilities on their own. Yet those with a solid foundation of math can do so much more when they use a calculator in the right way. It is an important balance and process.
By the way teachers aka Kevin's and Karens though not all but way too many are obsolete for several hundred years but still around. Imagine you pay someone 5 digit figure or more to go on children's nerve while everyone who wants to learn can go into the library and learn literally for free until the internet came around. A speaking chitchatting and problem solving ai is a trillion times better than the nerve wrecking nonse that's called school.
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience in school. I had a very good public school experience. It wasn't perfect, that is for sure, but I learned a lot in many different ways. I agree that the information is there in many ways (books, Internet, UA-cam, and now AI) for those that are self-directed learners, but many are not. Far fewer children will know where to start or fully understand what they read or watch. I think that teachers at all levels can create a much better learning environment by working with the AI.
Good riddance to compulsory public school systems, the most inefficient, ineffective, abusive institution ever devised.
I'm very sorry you had such a bad experience. I don't like to make absolute statement, especially about education. Compulsory public school in one area can be very different in another area, even within the same city. I very much liked my public school time. I think it could be improved but I personally don't think it was ineffective or abusive.
@@sovorel-EDU Throughout the sixties and halfway through the seventies I attended 9 public schools in 8 different districts in as many cities in four states and one overseas in Tehran, Iran. The most effective learning experiences happened outside all of them where I was free from teacher bias-all religious-driven bias-applied with cruel intent to punish me for not being Christian, even turning classmates against me for being “different”. Hence my experiential assessment.
@@fluxfaze I appreciate your experience fluxfaze.
About the "emotional" voice,
I find it annoying big time, maybe the us-biased training-data is responsible for that, the rest of the world doesn't talk in that way
If a real human talks to me like this, i leave the table without a comment
Same goes when talking robots wave their hands while talking, mostly trained with kemit-the-frog videos ?
They seem to forget, that the world is NOT only the us of a.
Do AI's also do measurements in feet ?
But let kids use AI to get top grades, better than using riffles.
Even people who have learned a lot in the past think the earth is flat, so what ?
I agree that not everyone will like that type of voice and yes, guruware8612, this is a U.S. AI (OpenAI) so it will be based on and cater towards a U.S. audience. However, you will be able to modify everything you just mentioned (such as selecting a different voice). You can even give ChatGPT permanent instructions that it will use across conversations. I think that will be very helpful to personalize it to your specific tastes.
