Teaching others is the best way to study! - From an app development idea -
There is so much AI news that I'm feeling a bit confused, but
I found some interesting news from a completely different angle.
An app where humans teach AI how to study!?
First of all, the ones exhibiting at the event were third-year junior high school students!
And the theme of the app development was,Humans teaching AI how to study!
—a complete reversal of thinking!!
Rather than being useful (though it is useful, lol),
it is meaningful (interesting).
It is often said that "studying deepens your understanding by teaching it to others."The reason for this is said to be that in the process of teaching others,
you need to organize knowledge and turn it into theory,so it becomes fixed in your memory in a neatly systematized state.
Also, by incorporating the perspective of others through the interaction of "teaching,"
fine details of your own questions can be resolved,
and you can discover key points you wouldn't have noticed on your own,
which is likely why teaching deepens learning.
When it comes to AI utilization, we tend to think about information organization and efficiency,
but that is an adult way of thinking. It's proof that we are poisoned by fixed ideas (lol).
An app called "Qanteek"
It is an app with the concept of using the human nature that "teaching deepens understanding"
to improve your level of understanding by "teaching" your studies to an AI.
"We have schools provide data based on their curriculum and have the AI read it,"
they said.
When it comes to learning apps, I think it's common sense to "be taught,"
but an app for "teaching" is truly novel.
Wow,
I'm truly impressed!
My own delusional expansion of the idea
I don't have information on what features the actual app has,
but I can see it developing like this:
Humans teach according to a theme
The AI accepts it honestly, empathizing and nodding along
The AI doesn't just accept it, but can also ask appropriate questions
It instantly knows whether the human's explanation is correct, but doesn't point it out directly even if it's wrong (it's programmed to avoid hurting the human's feelings)
When you find contradictions or mistakes in a person's explanation, casually ask questions that provide insight: "What do you mean by X?" or "What is the relationship between X and Y?"
The key is to always ask questions as a curious character who genuinely wants to learn.
If the question becomes one they cannot answer, gently encourage them by saying, "Let me know when you figure it out."
Perhaps this kind of empathy and dialogue is something AI will excel at.
It will delicately perceive how a person's mood has lifted,
or conversely, whether they are struggling.
Reading facial expressions is only a matter of time.
And it will become a good confidant.
That was an amazing idea that sparked all sorts of wild fantasies.
