Larry Cuban, historian, predicts that AI will join a long list of overhyped tech 'silver bullets' that have fallen short of the promised utopia. Cuban argues that tech boosters oversell because they don’t understand teaching's reliance on human connection. The podcast explores the limitations of AI language models, skepticism towards AI's impact in classrooms, the enduring tradition of hope and criticism in education, the potential impact of AI on writing assignments, and the cycle of over-promising in education technology.
