The narrative that an entire population are “worth” less, paid less , know less, live less …
Fuck this less shit, embrace the paradigm shift. God is finally providing the remedial support through the miracle of AI.

Or you are proven wrong entirely, again and again. And it turns out, that the legacy, unimportant and derelict of the past - culture is all decisive It turns out that only some cultures can generate high trust societies, capable to form institutions. And you prolonged suffering, by declaring that all cultures are created equal. History may write you down a monster.
I don't know if you've ever been to India, but one of its characteristic features is that it has lots of local languages. LLMs are awful at almost all of them. Plus, there's 20ish% of the population that falls below the literacy threshold. It's hard to imagine how those people would be educated by LLMs even if that was a good idea and they all had reliable Internet access, which they often don't.
Some people are worth more than others.
Some cultures are better than others.
We've had YouTube for two decades now. Cheap education was already available for those who wanted it.
