Because our goal is to eliminate the Left's influence in education.

AI does nothing but make the current situation cheaper.

That's pretty much what I was seeing.  It's OK for something like "using my
code base, write a simple program to count the widgets" and it would do it
pretty well.  But I could still do it faster because I wouldn't have had to
review the resulting code.

That's what ESR was saying on X.  AIs to a really good job of "reading the
manuals and explaining things".

So my main use today is not having AI write my code, but having it explain XXX
for me to see how I could use XXX in my code.

That's not saying much.  Schools aren't for learning anything today.  Unless
you count "how to be a ignorant leftoid" as "learning".
