AI is a hammer, so corporate is swinging it at everything they can. I agree that messing with child development is a dangerous game, and adding LLMs into the mix raises my eyebrows a bit (especially when kids may not have the common sense to not eat rocks or put glue on a pizza [0]). But in this case, the teacher is still in the loop (for now). Assuming Microsoft keeps its word and does not transfer learning material back to their servers, can we be reasonably certain that this isn't another CAPTCHA reverse-training exercise? I'd be interested to see how teachers can use this as a high-speed curation tool. If I were a teacher though, I'd be cautious that in delegating some of the work to a machine, the imaginative/synthesizing part of my brain is now going to go soft (and personally, I'd protect that aspect of my thinking at all costs).
