Anyone else noticing these really stupid new AI customer service bots that pretend to be human? They seem to be ubiquitous and completely unable to handle anything other than the most rudimentary trouble shooting. Between the data centers and these stupid bots, no wonder the public is souring on AI.

We see it expressed in teacher turnover and burnout, as K12 workers had the highest burnout rate of ANY surveyed profession in 2022! If teaching conditions are learning conditions, then resolving systemic factors that create burnout would improve the learning environment & experience for everyone.
Gallup headline reads K12 workers have highest burnout rate in usScreenshot of chart showing burnout rates for different professions showing 44% of K12 educators always or very often burnt out at the highest and only 21% of finance workers are the same and a range of professions in between

Schools have become toxic for many individuals, both students and adults. This has become an emergency situation. Schools need to support students' self-directed learning, not try to cram them with irrelevant information and then test them on it.

YES!! "Curiosity, enthusiasm, creativity, and joy have replaced boredom and resignation in these schools. Students have both voice and choice. Teachers relish the flexibility they’re given to craft a more engaging curriculum for the needs and interests of individual children."
