Senate Bill 1006 is a no-go. AI systems are the antithesis of learning. Especially unmonitored general LLM chatbots. For decades this country has been scraping every bit of learning out of the classroom, seeking to replace it with checkmark end of year testing and unrelated statistics. Our children deserve better. To the extent these tools are still even available when these children graduate, they will be able to utilize them fully to help accelerate tasks they _understand how to do_, rather than defer to an AI bot that hallucinates _as its default behavior_. Nobody seems to understand that these systems are inherently flawed in a way that provably cannot be fixed - because they don't care, I guess. This issue has been known since the 90's - you _cannot_ fix hallucination in this type of "AI" system. And you want our children to learn from it. What about _books_? If you could stop trying to _ban books_ and instead let children _read them_ they will learn a lot more. We used to understand this.
