It’s an ongoing debate I have with one of my students. He says English/language teachers specifically will have a hard time finding work in about 2-5 years. I disagree, especially for students who want a more conversational approach and can afford the classes.

What do y’all think?

Considering you can't even ask genAI to summarize a page without it falling for prompt injection, what makes me think it could replace a teacher of any subject?

There is no substitute for proper learning and genAI is not even close to a substitute for bad learning, IMO. Best I could get is a massively hallucinated mess that will probably end up causing kids to grow up not actually knowing what 2+2 is because every other week the genAI model changes the answer to another random integer.

I have zero concern for humans teaching as it stands.
