The point about data transfer making teachers replaceable by AI hit close. I’ve been running that experiment from the other side — using AI as a mirror for self-knowledge, and I wrote an essay about it.
It works, up to a point. It reflects accurately. But it doesn’t want anything for me.
My essay ended by admitting the real mirror is the people around you. Turns out Plato said it first, in First Alcibiades, and I just took the long way around.
