“But soon we will be able to spend less precious human time on basic tutoring; instead, the emotional labor we do to support each other can be invested in a more leveraged way.”
I have a feeling that part of the power of tutoring comes from having contact with an adult that is really excited with understanding the world, and who also believes you can understand it too. This is, that the process of teaching has a role in instilling culture; it’s not merely a complement to it. If my hypothesis is right, there will still be a place for humans doing basic tutoring. Maybe human tutors can serve solely as advisers, guides, but I’m not sure this is enough.
