Imagine the perfect teacher. She’s an expert on every subject, but can explain it like your five. She’s patient, answering as many questions as you want.

And forget $50,000 a year tuition. What would you say to…$0?

Well, we’re here! ChatGPT just might be the best teacher in the world.

Reading up on defense tech recently, I encountered a term that broke my English major brain: “synthetic aperture radar.” What the heck is that? So I asked one of my favorite teachers: ChatGPT.

I started by asking for a basic overview of what synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is.

GPT explained that SAR makes the radar antenna move. It also uses microwave radiation.

This makes it easy to see through clouds and capture very fine detail.

But I wasn’t really clear on how that antenna motion works. So I asked a follow-up question.

GPT explained that the antenna moves in order to capture the target from different angles. That gives you a higher resolution picture.

I was also curious whether this was a new technology or not. Turns out this amazing tech has existed since the 1950’s! Drones and other aircraft use it today.

What I have here is a world expert on any topic I want.

It can tell me about synthetic aperture radar and answer very specific questions. Then it can move on to the Napoleonic Wars in seconds.

Let’s imagine Version 2.0 of this technology…

I boot up ProfessorGPT, and her smiling face greets me on the screen. “Hi Professor, can you tell me about the big five personality traits?”

“Sure Francis! Let’s start with Openness…”

I could ask follow-up questions and get answers entirely by voice. And when I’m stuck, ProfessorGPT could keep explaining topics to me for hours, unconstrained by the bell.

For students in good schools, ProfessorGPT could supplement human teachers. It’s nice to have an expert by your side when you’re struggling with that tough math problem at home!

For those in rotten schools, ProfessorGPT could be a way out. If their regular teacher is unqualified or indifferent, they can turn to a wealth of knowledge from AI at little or no cost.

But most of us aren’t in school at all. We don’t have anyone to teach us something new. And all too often, we stop learning.

ProfessorGPT could teach us Portuguese before we head off on a trip. Folks in nursing homes could stay sharp learning new skills like how to play chess.

There’s no limit to what this technology can do. And we’re very close to building a true Professor GPT that feels almost as natural as the real thing.

AI chatbots using voice already exist. CarynAI, a chatbot girlfriend from Forever Voices, is but one example. Synthesia makes AI avatars that seems so human it’s uncanny.

It should be no problem to marry those technologies to GPT and create the greatest teachers we’ve ever had.

Are you working on education tools using AI? Have you used any great tools?
