While it's great that their aim is a 1:1 teacher to student ratio, I am a bit wary of ChatGPT being used to teach people. Especially given that a group of lawyers cited ChatGPT and landed in hot water after it was discovered that it was actually just making shit up lol
That being said, its ability to facilitate code / functions / snippets is very good. I suppose it all depends on how it's implemented.
How many real teachers per student though? Is this just an excuse to have even less human support, because "we have 10 AIs per student"?
What does a ratio even mean in this case, the AIs are not separate.
If they could get away with it, they'd remove instructors and support as a whole and just replace them with AI. It's so much cheaper to automate everything and at the end of the day it's all about money to them.
If they can count an AI process as an instructor, they're going to do it until it screws up lol
A boring dystopia, where teachers can't even be bothered to talk to their student directly, but hide behind A.I. bots.
Sometimes even real teachers "Hallucinate". In my networking course, I was told by the teacher that a coax-based Ethernet (Either thin net or 10 base 5) had terminators on each end "to reflect the signal back down the wire so the ethernet cards could have another crack at it"
