I think replacing humans where there is human-human interaction is deplorable, and it's also laughable where everyone in the future will be learning a language but never actually using it because AI makes it redundant. It removes the joy and uniqueness of being human and pushes us further into becoming machines.

I can see practical concerns (see the other thread) but why is the replacement of human interaction "deplorable"?

Yeah, totally agree but here it is more about education. For some steps it is okay to allow AI to teach you and after move to the next level. Also AI is more affordable for many people because not everyone can afford to pay $10-$30 for each lesson but here you can mix real teachers with AI. Will it replace all teachers? Probably not. Will it replace some of them? Probably.

Education involves human interaction too. And it is already moving to the point where it is becomng too assembly line. And did you consider the fact that if you can't afford a teacher, there are plenty of people willing to chat for free and help you on the internet? Maybe not as effective as a standard curriculum but in a way that is better as the idiosyncratic component is part of being human.

More AI replacing humans is never a good thing, under any circumstances.
