OpenAI has changed education.

I'm a teacher who is constantly learning new things. I can learn things I would have never been able to learn before because of AIs like ChatGPT. My students are learning more and faster than ever before.

Learning Management Systems like Canvas and Blackboard made a lot of money. I could argue they are obsolete now.




> OpenAI has changed education.

No, it objectively has not. Maybe it has changed how you teach, but “education” is much larger than any of us. Until school curriculums around the world incorporate ChatGPT—quite the dystopian scenario—they have not changed education.


Obsolete does not mean something is no longer used. It means that new technology beats the obsolete system every time.

I'm spending most of today updating my Canvas courses, and Canvas is obsolete. Students are much better off asking AIs how to do thing and what they should learn next rather than working through my Canvas courses.


You’re arguing against a point I did not make. Seems like you wanted to respond to one of the other replies.


Learning management systems are far from obsolete. They exist because schools and teachers can no longer make their own websites to host material, tabulate grades, and accept submissions. Ai tools do different things entirely than blackboard and canvas.


no way Canvas and Blackboard will be obsolete in a few years. schools can't maintain all this infra system on own


The infrastructure will not be needed. Why keep a static book or a semi-interactive LMS when AIs act as tutors and mentors?


1. It's not a complete replacement

2. School are slow to adopt new techs


you can also learn things on google and youtube, dont see how chat gpt makes anything better in education
