00:00Where do you think you're going, Zoey? Huh? Zoey? Zoey?
00:13Zoey. Zoey!
00:16You need to pay better attention in class. Did you not get any sleep last night?
00:30Well, where's your essay?
00:42Right, my essay.
00:44Un moment. Sorry, we're in English. One moment.
00:49You need to focus on the assigned reading, not this fake news.
01:02It's not fake.
01:04How do you know?
01:06Ms. Kozik, what is the determinant of the 2x2 matrix with the first row being 1 and 2 and the second row being 3 and 4?
01:19The answer is negative 2.
01:22That's odd.
01:29Which U.S. president served two non-consecutive terms?
01:33Grover, Cleveland.
01:37I just know.
01:39Looks like I forgot my essay at home.
01:41Can I get an extension?
01:43Deadlines are important, Zoey.
01:45I'll give you till tomorrow.
01:47But remember, in the real world, when you miss a deadline, there are consequences.
01:53And let's not make this into a habit.
01:55As we all know, standardized testing is quickly approaching.
01:59And we cannot change those deadlines.
02:03You're not supposed to give students the answers.
02:08You're supposed to help them learn.
02:10This model must be defective.
02:12Looks like I'm gonna have to terminate her.
02:22Let go of me!
02:24The island in Lord of the Flies itself represents a fresh start. A clean slate. But what happens when there's no structure? Think about the conch shell.
02:45At first, it represents order.
02:46What's up?
02:47What's up with your face?
02:49Try to imagine Mrs. Bryson as a teenager at a dance.
02:54Or a college student at a frat house.
02:57Yeah, nah. If anything, she was chaperoning as a student or busting all the parties.
03:03She's like super strict for no reason.
03:05You're telling me.
03:07She's like the worst teacher at bookside.
03:10Dave, if you're unhappy with your grade, I do have office hours after school.
03:15Thanks for putting me on the spot.
03:18As I was saying, the conch shell represents order and authority.
03:34Hey, what up? You are just in time to feast your eyes on this!
03:41Hey! You totally just stopped you from cracking your head off the linoleum?
03:46Hello! That's what this is for! Duh!
03:49Besides, do I look like a damsel in distress to you?
03:53You can retrieve this from the front office after school.
04:16In the Lord of the Flies, the boys start out thinking that they don't need rules.
04:23They believe that they could survive without structure or the discipline that they were used to.
04:31But as the story goes on, what happens?
04:34They start fighting. Things fall apart. And in the end, what do we see? Chaos and regret.
04:42Golding is showing us how sometimes we don't recognize the value of something until it's gone.
04:47Hey, that's my property!
04:50Respectfully, I have to disagree. The current model of AI educators is not ready for deployment.
04:57We need to continue testing.
04:59That's too bad. Contracts have been signed and we agreed to have them ready by today.
05:04I understand that. But the current model is not following proper protocol. I was forced to use my EMP.
05:13I didn't hear myself asking for your excuses. So pack them up and send them out!
05:19Keep your phones tucked away or get your phones taken away.
05:28How else are you supposed to concentrate on the lesson if your eyes are glued to the phone?
05:38Is this how you see me?
05:40I mean...
05:42That's how we all see you.
05:44If I'm hard on you, it's because I want what's best for you.
05:47I care about your futures.
05:55Dave, I was sincere about staying after school to help you get your grades up.
06:00Uh, yeah, um...
06:02You know, I got practice after school, so...
06:05Sorry.
06:07Besides, I think 40 minutes of torture is enough for anyone.
06:17Hate's a strong word.
06:18You're absolutely right. Students only photoshop the teachers that they love to look like the devil.
06:35Try not to take it to heart.
06:36Oh!
06:40I'll call you back, babe.
06:45Mrs. Matthews, how can I help you?
06:47I don't know. How can you help me? Dave is failing your class.
06:50I mean, I've offered him extra credit and tutoring after school to get his grade up. I mean, what more can I do?
06:57Are you blaming my son?
07:00I mean, if he's not taking the help that I give him...
07:03You are his teacher, which means you're the problem, and you need to fix this because you are ruining his life!
07:10Hey! Hey!
07:13What is the meaning of this?
07:15Your so-called teacher can't handle the truth that my son's grades are suffering because of her!
07:21Okay. Why don't we go into my office and we can discuss this, okay? Please.
07:35Man, I'm one more D away from getting kicked off the team.
07:38What do you mean?
07:39And what's with all the homework? Just because she has nothing better to do with her life doesn't mean that we don't.
07:45Swear. Total vibe killer.
07:47Like my Aunt Lizzie. She wasn't an A-plus student, but she's always doing something cool and living it up.
07:54Aunt, she's older than Bryson.
08:01Bryson is high-key uptight.
08:03Yeah, I know. She might be an English teacher, but she does not know the definition of fun.
08:07So...
08:09Kobe!
08:13Yo, Kev, what's under the blanket, man?
08:16Eh, you know, just some experiment for my dad's tech job.
08:21Actually, I feel like y'all would really appreciate this.
08:34What is that?
08:35Why would we appreciate that?
08:36So... a life-size doll?
08:40Hello, kids. My name is Ms. Kosek. How are we today?
08:45Does this look like fake news to y'all?
08:48So when do we ditch Mrs. Bryson and get ChatGPT's avatar for a teacher?
08:53They never replace existing teachers. It'd be bad for PR. They're just gonna have to wait till the teachers leave themselves.
09:01Man, I wish Ms. Bryson would leave.
09:03Like that would ever happen.
09:06Unless... there's a way to make her.
09:09So where do we start?
09:19First, I gotta take care of something personal.
09:21She took my wheels, so I'm just gonna have to take hers.
09:45Perfect bed start to a morning.
09:49But that's not enough. She's gonna find another way to school. What's phase two?
10:01I got it.
10:03Okay. So every day, Ms. Bryson makes a cup of joe in the teacher's lounge.
10:07But on this day, she'll be late, right?
10:10Leaving the coffee machine all to herself.
10:12Zoe and Janet, you two keep watch and alert the group chat when you see Mrs. Bryson walk in.
10:22Then Kevin will be waiting outside the teacher's lounge to make sure the coast is clear before I replace the coffee grounds with dirt for a cup of boys.
10:30Meanwhile, I'll be printing out my masterpiece in the library.
10:48The four giving it to Zoe and Janet to plaster the girls' bathrooms with propaganda. Just in time for her to see it and get a mouthful of dirt water.
11:00But is that enough?
11:12Wait a minute. I've got the perfect cherry on top.
11:18Hey, hey! What is the meaning of this?
11:36What is the meaning of this?
11:48Oh, yeah. This will work.
11:53You think it worked? You think she's gone?
11:55If we're lucky.
12:00Don't worry. I'm leaving. I just came to say goodbye.
12:07You know, they say sometimes you don't appreciate a good thing until it's gone.
12:13I guess we'll see.
12:16I'll miss you.
12:18We'll miss you too, Mrs. Bryson.
12:20Yeah, not!
12:21I understand the timing on this is not so good. Unfortunately, I was told to administer these practice tests before the upcoming standardized exam.
12:44Dude, what if she was even worse than Bryson?
12:52Sorry.
12:54Why are you apologizing?
12:56Go ahead and respond to your text.
12:58In fact, all of you can use your phones if you like.
13:11Why are you struggling?
13:12Why are you struggling?
13:15Because it's impossible. How am I supposed to answer this?
13:18Explain the significance of parallel structure in persuasive writing.
13:22Parallel structure in persuasive writing refers to the repetition of grammatical forms to create rhythm and clarity, commonly used in essays and speeches to emphasize key points.
13:34Bro, this plan was brilliant.
13:44This can't be real, right? I mean, there's no way that some robot can cater to their needs.
13:51Absolutely not. No one can do your job like you can, especially not a robot.
13:59Greetings. I will be your dining assistant tonight. May I make a few suggestions?
14:09Our algorithm has determined the most optimal meal pairings based off our customers' preferences.
14:14I see you've met our latest addition.
14:18Last month, I replaced all my employees with robots.
14:21Best decision I've ever made. Look at them.
14:24Costs have gone down 30%, and believe it or not, food quality has gone even higher.
14:27Costs have gone even higher.
14:28Costs have gone.
14:29Costs have gone.
14:30Costs have gone.
14:31Costs have gone.
14:32Costs have gone.
14:33Costs have gone.
14:34Costs have gone.
14:35Costs have gone.
14:36Costs have gone.
14:37Costs have gone.
14:38Costs have gone.
14:39Costs have gone.
14:40Costs have gone.
14:41Costs have gone.
14:42Costs have gone.
14:43Costs have gone.
14:44Costs have gone.
14:45Costs have gone.
14:46Costs have gone.
14:47Costs have gone.
14:49Costs have gone.
14:50Costs have gone.
14:51Costs have gone.
14:52Costs have gone.
14:53Costs have gone.
14:54Costs have gone.
14:55Costs have gone.
14:56Costs have gone.
14:57Costs have gone.
14:58Look, this new teacher is a miracle worker.
15:00Dave just got a perfect score on his practice test.
15:04Very well then. Carry on.
15:16Class, what shall we do next?
15:21I've got an idea.
15:22I am very pleased to announce that the integration of our very first AI
15:26struck herself to a great start.
15:29Just before this press conference, actually, I received glowing reviews
15:33from a very happy parent whose child was failing not too long ago,
15:38but now is getting perfect test scores.
15:43Any questions?
15:44Sir, sir, sir.
15:45Yes.
15:46What did the AI teacher do exactly that led to the increase in students' test score?
15:52Teach.
15:53I mean, what else do teachers do, right?
15:55All right, are you ready for the play?
15:57All right, you're going to pick up speed, land on the bench, ride down like a ramp,
16:01and then jump over that bad boy for an epic dismount.
16:03Do you think you can do it?
16:05Please. I was bored for this.
16:07That's what I'm talking about.
16:09Uh, is this really a good idea?
16:11Come on, what's the worst that could happen?
16:13Yeah.
16:14Aren't you going to, like, intervene here?
16:16Why should I?
16:17Risk-taking is important for human development.
16:20Yeah.
16:21In fact, let's make this more interesting.
16:23Janet, why don't you increase your speed for maximum airtime?
16:27And let's add another obstacle.
16:29Break a leg.
16:40Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
16:49Oh, Mrs. Preston, we've never let this happen.
16:54See? You should have stopped her.
16:56It wasn't my fault.
16:58You literally said break a leg.
17:00That's a common idiom.
17:01My programming does not anticipate a literal outcome.
17:08I'm telling you, the robots haven't been properly tested.
17:12There are some serious bugs in the system.
17:14It's out of my hands.
17:15Decisions have been made by someone on top.
17:17On top?
17:19But I thought you were the one who would...
17:21Sorry I'm late.
17:22Not a problem, sir.
17:23Let's go in my office to discuss.
17:31I mean, it was only a bump in the road.
17:33That leads to the hospital.
17:35Man, I don't care.
17:36Miss Cossack's still way better than Bryson.
17:38And anyway, I've never had this much fun in class.
17:41I've never gotten 100% either.
17:42It's not hard to get 100% when the teacher is feeding you the answers.
17:46Exactly.
17:47Where are you guys going?
17:52Are you walking out in solidarity or something?
17:54We just got laid off.
18:09Study sesh with Cool Ranch Doritos?
18:11Or we could skip the study sesh.
18:13We could play video games instead.
18:15Yeah, I mean, Mrs. Cossack gives us the answers anyway.
18:18Why would we need a study?
18:19Yeah.
18:28I'll meet you guys in my room.
18:30Why didn't you tell me if Lizzie was staying with us?
18:38Your aunt got let go from her job.
18:40She was missing work.
18:42She was out partying.
18:44So she's gonna be around until she gets back on her feet.
18:47She's literally 40.
18:49She's been like this since she was 16.
18:51Always missing assignments, cheating on tests, you name it.
18:54I guess it's a habit she never grew out of.
18:58Deadlines are important, Zoe.
19:00I'll give you till tomorrow.
19:01But remember, in the real world, when you miss a deadline, there are consequences.
19:08Looks like things are going well with the new AI faculty, though.
19:14What's up, Zoe?
19:15Kev's in the bathroom.
19:17You good?
19:19I'm starting to have second thoughts about this whole robo-teacher thing.
19:22What's wrong, you don't want to walk and talk and answer key?
19:25You don't see a problem with that?
19:28We're only hurting ourselves by not learning.
19:30I mean, who's gonna do the work for us in the real world?
19:33I don't get why Phillips would allow any of this.
19:35Because it benefits him.
19:39There's a defect in this model, which causes the robot to give the students all the answers.
19:44That's music to my ears.
19:46The higher the students score on the test, the higher the numbers go on my paycheck.
19:50Before you know it, I'll be replacing the entire faculty with AI.
19:52Cha-ching.
19:54But wouldn't that be bad PR?
19:56If all the kids are getting A's, I'm gonna look like a superhero to the press.
20:00And the parents.
20:02And my bank account.
20:20Do your best.
20:26And as always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
20:33Uh, what's the answer to number one?
20:36You know what, guys, stop.
20:38We need to figure this stuff out on our own.
20:41We're in school and we need to learn and grow.
20:44Or we'll end up like Aunt Liz.
20:46Aunt Liz?
20:48Never mind.
20:49Somebody's got to alert the media and expose to everyone that this AI teacher thing is corrupt.
20:57Put the phone down.
21:01Then I'll call.
21:03Yeah, I'll call too.
21:04I'll call too.
21:12We're on!
21:16This is my deja vu!
21:34No!
22:00No!
22:01What was that?
22:07Electromagnetic pulse grenade.
22:09EMP grenade.
22:11No way, like on Fortnite?
22:14Pardon the interruption.
22:16All faculty are now being replaced by AI robots.
22:19Effective immediately.
22:22Not if we stop him first.
22:24We are witnessing record-breaking improvements in our students' test scores already.
22:29And I am personally incredibly thrilled about this new initiative.
22:33Of course you are.
22:34Because why wouldn't you be when it comes with a nice fat paycheck?
22:38That is completely absurd.
22:41Anyway.
22:44If all the kids are getting A's, I'm gonna look like a superhero of the press.
22:47And the parents.
22:48And my bank account.
22:51Not so absurd now, is it? Huh?
22:53I'm sorry.
22:54Hey, what are you doing?
22:56Uh-uh.
22:57Wait!
22:59We don't want robots for teachers.
23:10Our previous teacher, Mrs. Bryson, was right.
23:14Sometimes you don't appreciate a good thing until it's gone.
23:17And honestly, we'd do anything to get her back.
23:21See?
23:22Welcome back!
23:23Oh my goodness!
23:24You got me cupcakes!
23:25And a coffee?
23:26Uh, real coffee, Mrs. Bryson.
23:27Can I get your autograph?
23:28I wanted you to be the first person to sign it.
23:32Because clearly you're the only one who cared about my safety.
23:33Sure.
23:34Sure.
23:35Sure.
23:36Sure.
23:37Sure.
23:38We were also wondering if you had time for tutoring today after school.
23:39Yeah, we want to make you proud of the exam.
23:40Are you sure you don't still see me?
23:41Yes.
23:42Yes.
23:43Yes.
23:44Yes.
23:45Yes.
23:46Yes.
23:47Yes.
23:48Yes.
23:49Yes.
23:50Yes.
23:51Yes.
23:52Yes.
23:53Yes.
23:54Yes.
23:55Yes.
23:56Yes.
23:57Yes.
23:58Yes.
23:59Yes.
24:00Yes.
24:01Yes.
24:02took a lucky bus.
24:03Yes.
24:04Yes.
24:05Yes.
24:06Sure.
24:07Yes.
24:08Yes.
24:09Yes.
24:10Yes.
24:11Yes.
24:12Yes.
24:13Yes.
24:14Yes.
24:15We're now-
24:16We're now-
24:17Yes.
24:18Yes.
24:19No, no, no, no, no.
24:21No, no.
24:22No, no, no, no.
24:23No, no, no, no.
24:25No, no, no.
24:26No, no, it really wasn't a perfect decision.
24:28no, no, no.
