Topic : Is it a good idea to use avatars to replace humans as teachers in schools?
I strongly disagree to using avatars to replace teachers in schools. According to the video “Robot Giving a Speech”, it can be seen that even though the robot is made to mimick the real person’s facial expressions, it looks genuinely fake from every angle. Do we want a teacher who is programmed to laugh at a joke? Is it nice to have a robotic teacher who shows you the same smile every time? Perhaps using avatars for teachers means that the “teachers” can teach all day, but who wants to study for the whole day, especially when faced with a robotic teacher? I think that teaching personally, as a human, shows sincerity in teaching. If I were taught by a robot, I think that I am being neglected because my education and future is being left in the hands of a machine. I would not want to give my best shot in learning either. Therefore, I do not think that using avatars to replace humans as teachers in schools is a good idea.
