its not hard

But with our new AI instructress sexbot, it will be!

No but actually it is. Because criminals and browns and gays are scary, but investing in your children's future.... No no no, can't have that, that's too expensive. Where will the money come from? Everybody will lose their jobs if we upset the masters! We must protect the status quo at all costs!

It doesn't really matter what other products the company makes.
But a teacher is one if the least AI-able jobs I think. There's no way this will work.

There's no way it will give kids an adequate education...

But that's not exactly been the goal of the American public school system since No Child Left behind almost 30 years ago.

Our public education system has been under attack for generations while the wealthy go to private schools and ivy leagues.

And people act surprised when 18 year olds voted trump.

Kids don't magically become functional adults because of what a calendar says, someone needs to teach them to act right.

Good thing children follow directions and are so bad with technology. This plan is foolproof!

least AI-able jobs

It looks like it to the parents and the board, which is all that matters. Most of them don't ever see the hours of putting together a curriculum, or answering questions, or grading essays and putting homework together and trying to keep kids interested. They just remember (wrongly) "well you get up and talk about stuff from a book, what if we fed that book to a machine and it said that stuff instead for the price of your salary, once."

Definetely worst.

It will specifically talk in a context where the human cannot tell if it's hallucinating or not.

Also it will be used by thousands of people consequently for 8 hours straight so we can speedrun climate change I guess.

LLMs are always hallucinating. That's how they function. It pulls something that's probably coherent from literal random noise and techbros pretend it was "thinking", then when the result is something undesirable, they act like it made a "mistake". Don't buy into their bullshit.

I'm going to assume this thing would run a model locally because the alternative would be insane, especially if you're doing it to reduce the costs relative to hiring a teacher. And if it's running a local model, then it's at worst speed running climate change as much as a similarly-long gaming session.

Which is probably the future of embodied AI in practical situations - running a local model in an appropriately designed robot body to the task domain at hand. If for no other reason than because in real applications you're not going to want response time relying on network turnaround for any important task, or most tasks that involve interacting with the physical world in general.

I love absurd news articles where the journalist feels the need to proclaim “I am not making any of this up.”

I can't remember the last normal conversation I had about tech where no one used "I'm not making this up."

The writing style really spoke to me. I felt as frustrated as the writer.

This reminds me!

My job, whose entire goal was to sell marketing services using text messages, decided one day to pivot towards dating! Half the company's job was to make it work!

Imagine all those spammy

"Want cheaper meds? Reply Y. Unsubscribe with 'CANCEL'"

but with

"Hi I'm Tiffany I'm single. You interested? Reply Y. Unsubscribe with 'CANCEL'".

Anyways I didn't bail in time and then had to fight my ass off to get my last paycheck when they declared bankruptcy.

Smartphone apps were competing with teachers for student attention. It was time to stop playing defense and go on the offense.

Yes, this is great! Because, what could go wrong

i mean, there is a TON of money in this field. No, not teaching, not that one. But the aspect of indoctrinating the youth so they dont grow up all democratic.

14

I mean, teaching is probably the least well fit a task could be for an AI robot, but I'm honestly not surprised at all at a sex doll company working on a project for building AI powered robots for use cases where human-like interaction is important. It's going to fail for teaching applications, but for say customer service or retail...

Sex doll companies are far more experienced at wrapping a decently realistic looking human form around some mechanisms than the sort of people who normally build bipedal robots. Building "skins" to wrap around bipedal robot frames to make them easier to anthropomorphize for customer facing jobs seems like a logical direction to expand into for a sex doll company looking to diversify. Teaching is just...very the wrong application of this.

These two households, both alike in dignity, met in 2024, and from forth the fatal loins of their union came Realbotix.

CEO: Why the fuck did you put twerk mode into teacher-bot?

Engineer: We didn't put it, we just used the models we had just like you said. We didn't think anyone could be able to wake up the sleeping agent.

Gentlemen Gentlemen let's asks the important questions here. What subject are they teaching?

9

What subject doesn't matter as much as making sure they don't let the programming of the different 'bots overlap...
Math: "1 plus 1 equals...fun!
Social Studies: "Hello, sailor."
Geography: "today, we're going to find The Clitoris."

I hope they have a very good cleaning program.

I mean, sex ed was terrrrible when I studied it.

And, lord do the ladies know, too few men know about the female anatomy.

So I imagine this would be a good way to teach kids to be better lovers, assuming she's anatomically correct.

Slap "AI" into a business name or a plan and watch the investors roll in. It doesn't matter if it's a good idea on paper or not.

Who's going to be in charge of the maintenance??? Have they thought about that? How do I apply?

The district in question is heavily republican so how does that tie this stupid idea to democrats instead of the party that actually has control of the area?

Just another symptom of America's widening education gap; a lot of school districts can't afford high-quality AI sex bots to teach critical thinking.

Maybe you’re just a moron, because a. this has nothing to do with politics, and b. even if it did, it’s happening in a Republican county:

This ludicrous stunt is being subjected upon Salamanca, New York, a city in Cattaraugus County, with a population of 5,929, and Seneca Nation land. And, as is the case with every single AI grift in existence, it’s being done not to actually help the widely impoverished people of Salamanca, but to try to promote the company’s AI.
