> but 1:1 tutoring is just so much more effective than basically any other kind of educational context

Do we know how much of that effect is the "personalization " of 1:1 learning (something AI can replicate) vs the effect of interacting with another human (which AI might not be able to replicate)?

View on HN

The studies almost always compare 1:1 learning with learning in groups, comparing two different modes of interaction with another human,

But it’s reasonable to ask whether an AI can (today?) be as effective as a human at delivering (or even identifying, generating) that personalized interaction.

We use AI as a teaching aid. It supplements traditional learning. It gives people the ability to have a dialogue with information.

It’s not replacement
