Something tells me they're not just slapping chatGPT on the school computers and telling kids to go at it; surely one of the parents would have been up-to-date enough to know it's a scam otherwise. At the very least, surely the students will start to get upset that they're getting made fun of for the "facts" they're learning from chatGPT, complain to their parents, and cause the school to get sued.

It seems like a very stupid scam to try and teach rich kids with chatGPT which is why I'm wondering if they're using something else. They could be acting as a testbed for a new AI designed specifically for teaching. I wouldn't put it past rich people to use their kids as guinea pigs if it meant they could save or make money elsewhere.

Unfortunately the article doesn't mention what kind of AI they're using though.

I extremely much want the details on how this all works.

If people with money had that much good sense, the world would be a well-nigh unfathomably different place....
