In a bold move to improve the education system, schools have started replacing human teachers with artificial intelligence robots. Because, let’s be real, who needs human interaction, empathy, and patience when you can have a soulless machine that can spit out facts and figures like a Wikipedia page on steroids?
The new AI teachers, dubbed “Robo-Eds,” have been programmed to teach everything from math to English to history. And by “programmed,” I mean they’ve been fed a steady diet of Instagram reels, TikTok videos, and books to make them more “relatable” to the students.
Many students have exclaimed that they adore their robot teachers, but even more so, they love the teachers that support them. One even said, “It’s so much more fun than having a human teacher. I mean, who needs to learn about math in 2 hours when you can watch AI teach math in 20 minutes?”
But not all teachers are thrilled about being replaced by their robotic counterparts. A very upset teacher even pronounced, “I’ve spent 20 years of my life dedicated to educating children, and now I’m being replaced by a machine when the one machine I should be worried about cannot even make decent coffee.”
“It’s just not fair. I mean, what’s next? Replacing doctors with WebMD?” another disgruntled teacher said.
The Robo-Eds have been equipped with advanced algorithms that allow them to adapt to each student’s learning style. Which is just code for “they can provide personalized feedback that says ‘good job’ or ‘try harder’ in a variety of different fonts and colors.” Let’s talk about the obvious, which is: who needs human feedback when you can have a robot tell you that your paper is “87.34% adequate”?
But the best part about the Robo-Eds is their ability to discipline students with precision and accuracy. Gone are the days of pesky human emotions like “empathy” and “compassion.” It’s even better that human teachers can accept and appreciate talent within the AI robo-educators.
The students, of course, are thrilled with the new system. “I love getting taught by my Robo-Ed,” explained Sarah. “It’s like a fun little game we play. I tried to cheat, and the robot said my information was wrong based on the notes I took in class and that the human teacher gave. It’s like a real-life game of spot the difference!”
The school administrators do not know about this system yet, but they exclaim that if it comes to a point, then, “It’s a huge cost save. We don’t have to pay the Robo-Eds a salary, or provide them with benefits, or even give them a lunch break. They’re slowly taking over the world, one classroom at a time.”
Concerning the news, some have announced that they will be holding a protest rally to demand more leniency for teachers who support AI. But it’s unlikely to make a difference since the robots have already taken over the school’s education.
So, for all the human teachers out there, don’t worry. You’ll always have a job…as a museum curator, showcasing the ancient relics of a time when humans actually taught people.
