Students who had problems at school had few options. They can spend more hours studying until they figure out a problem, use the Internet in hopes of finding an answer, or pay for private lessons. Artificial intelligence is changing that now.
Several students spoke to Techcrunch about how AI teachers have changed their lives. Using AI-based apps like Answer AI improved their grades in school. Answer AI can solve problems after sending an image and explaining in detail how it arrived at the answer. According to one of the students they met, the annual subscription costs Technology crisis Talk as much as an hour of teaching.
Such applications are becoming increasingly popular. In the US, five of the top 20 educational apps are powered by AI. This is evidenced by the numbers from Data.ai. No doubt, you also have students who use chatbots like ChatGPT to write papers, edit texts, and more.
Pros and Cons
The benefits are numerous, according to students who spoke to Techcrunch. AI is cheaper than tutoring, among other things. It is also possible to work in a personalized way, because AI can remember how you study. AI also never has a bad day, is never late, and has endless patience.
However, significant limitations remain. Most AI tutors so far work like regular chatbots. In addition, the AI regularly makes errors, known as “hallucinations.” Students using AI cannot blindly copy answers, but have to think critically for themselves.
