You're right that software can't solve every problem but for education, it can solve a great deal. I know it is hard to believe what I am talking about but it is true. Software, when designed correctly, is an extremely powerful and amazing tool to use. Even if there was an all-knowing AI teacher there would still be schools and teachers. Those facilities are paid for by tax dollars so as long as the state keeps funding it, then it will continue to exist, even if students can get a superior education online.

I see these tools mainly being used by students that want to self-study a topic that is not available to them. For example, high school kids that want to maybe take college classes while they are in high school. It is also great for students in other countries that don't have access to high-quality educational resources (teachers, books, tutors etc.).
