Educational system will have 'AI wilderness camps' where tools are removed; every fourth-grader becomes a Nobel laureate.

Educational system will have 'AI wilderness camps' where tools are removed; every fourth-grader becomes a Nobel laureate. | We're going to start I I think in in our educational system, at least the better parts of it, having the moral equivalent of a wilderness camp for AI where you all of your AI tools get taken away. You have to do things manually just so that you at least have that skill set and then you get all your AI skills back and every every fourth grader becomes a Nobel laureate.
