Elon Musk Thinks AI Can Replace Teachers. He's Wrong.

August 27, 2026 · 28 min

Show notes

Elon Musk thinks education should feel like a video game. Sam Altman wants every child to have an AI tutor. When someone says a great new piece of technology will transform how kids are taught, be very suspicious. “Innovations” in education technology always come with bold promises and almost always fail to deliver. Schools don't need better tech. They need better teachers.
