Retarded? Apparently, many on the “woke right” have gone full-retard with their anti-MAGA rhetoric. For REAL news, opinions, and videos that aren’t retarded, check out the fastest growing conservative and Christian news aggregator!
In this The College Fix article, Micaiah Bilger reports that American universities are beginning to experiment with AI-powered humanoid avatars as interactive teachers while Chinese institutions already deploy them for full lectures that mimic historical figures.
- At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Professor Robert Goehlich is introducing four AI avatars into his space tourism course for the coming academic year, each with names, headshots, bios, and job descriptions to create an immersive experience.
- The avatars actively ask questions and guide discussions; one named Elena Moonwalker conducts simulated job interviews, while others such as Dex Demand, Dr. Risk Null, and Brand Nova handle market analysis, risk management, and marketing pitches.
- At George Mason University, health technology Professor Sanja Avramovic tested AI avatars that deliver short on-demand video lectures; some students found them monotone and robotic and preferred human instruction, though they did not want the tools eliminated entirely.
- George Mason faculty also built AI tutors that function as coaches, walking students step-by-step through assignments by mapping common mistakes and prompting critical thinking rather than simply providing answers.
- Early analysis at George Mason showed undergraduates using the AI tutors improved performance by nearly 9 percentage points and demonstrated stronger engagement than peers.
- In China, universities including Hong Kong University of Science and Technology already use AI avatars that look and speak like Albert Einstein or mathematician John Nash to deliver lectures and answer student questions.
- Chinese scholars and the government are encouraging broader adoption, predicting future roles for avatars as on-demand tutors and teaching assistants.
- American professors present the technology as a supplement that counters passive AI use and simulates real-world professional scenarios rather than a full replacement for human instructors.
