A massive government experiment in South Korean to roll out 76 AI-generated textbooks has ended just four months in, after the program proved to be a catastrophe.
Called the “AI Digital Textbook Promotion Plan,” the initiative formed as a partnership with a dozen publishing companies championed by disgraced former President Yoon Suk Yeol in June of 2023.
According to Rest of World, the textbooks first became available when the South Korean school year began last March. Lawmakers promised students the textbooks would offer personalized learning in math, English, and coding, while teachers were told they would lower the workload and prevent dropouts.
Yet when they hit the classroom, the books turned out to be full of embarrassing errors, demanding much more time and energy from students and teachers alike. Though part of the government’s pitch was that generating textbooks with AI would make the publishing process much faster, textbooks from at least one publisher were significantly delayed.
One high school student told RoW that “all our classes were delayed because of technical problems with the textbooks. I also didn’t know how to use them well.”

Assurément, un concentré de mauvaise foi, alimenté par des humains dépassés qui épousent la foi luddite par peur du déclassement.
On devrait censurer ce genre d’articles émis par une presse poubelle qui refuse de voir le progrès en marche.

Plus sérieusement, nos capitalistes, qui nous disent comment on devrait voir le futur et la vie en général, en sont à massacrer les universités des pays développés, parce qu’ils ont l’impression que c’est à cause des intellectuels qu’ils sont eux mêmes en train de se faire déclasser par le reste du monde. Ces individus peu scrupuleux et peu au fait de la notion de système, dès qu’elle devient un petit peu plus compliquée que la lecture d’un solde de compte en banque, ont décidé de décapiter nos sociétés, au nom de ce fameux solde de compte en banque.
