I am really sorry—it seems that you’ve only had teachers you feel would be better replaced with AI. That’s unfortunate. I consider myself lucky, and I can only think of one or two duds who little better than screen readers for their slides. I think the average experience of students across junior, high school, and college is a mixed bag, but almost all have at least one or two teachers who care. You seem to be unlucky, and I’m sorry.

> If you ask a professor what qualifies them do they say their research or their pedagogical skills?

The majority will say “both”, unless they’re teaching faculty in which case they’ll say pedagogy. Source: I spend a lot of time around professors.

I don’t know any students personally who think they’d be better off with an AI professor. I know a lot of current college students.

> I’ve probably thought about this much longer than you have.

All I can say is that that is a strange argument to attempt.
