In the Mishmash thread, Prahok wonders if one repetitive and enduring respondent is perhaps in fact a computer bot, rather than a real person. That respondent, was mostly succeeding in the seeming Khmer440 Turing Test, ... yet not completely so: perhaps, Prahok thought, a damn fine bot, though not entirely convincing. (No offence Wendy if you are indeed human.)
Was it about 6 or 8 years ago(?) that a clever online chat bot, state-of-the-art at the time, very quickly took on the tone and vocabulary of a foul-mouthed racist, misogynist? Anyway, the speed of AI advancement has only accelerated since then.
So when will AI English teachers take over classrooms?
I can't recall if MS Word, circa Windows '95, included a spell check, or grammar check function, but today apps like Grammerly do a good job helping budding writers (I SHOULD run my 1st paragraph through it!), and many teachers use their free online plagiarism checker. Quite impressive as far as it goes.
But when will teaching bots do more?
In his classic, Grammar Games, Mario Rinvolucri offers teachers and students "The Marienbad Game" p61, where two teams of students take alternate turns asking the teacher to erase individual words from a grammatically correct, layered (If you have read this overly long post to this point, just look up the game to understand what I mean.), starting sentence or short passage. The winning team is the one that does not erase the last word.
Long, long before Big Blue beat Kasparov at chess, and AlphaGo beat Ke Jie, programmers (primitive, bearded precursors to 'Coders') wrote lines that enabled a machine to always win at the matchstick version of Marienbad.
What I wait for is a bot that can not only win with certainty Grammar Marienbad - perhaps already possible, but that can also adjudicate the game in the classroom to maximize student learning outcomes.
When that comes, will English teachers in Cambodia be out of work?
(P.S. Was this post Bot written? Or maybe Wendy A. wrote it?)
Bot Teachers
The legislative framework is not in place for bot teachers.
As you pointed out, bots can be racist mysoginistic pigs too but wheres the checks and balances.
Given that robots can reproduce now, are our students safe or can robots too be chucked in with all the over fifties males as pedos.

I doubt it. Teachers need to adapt to each individual pupil plus console, encourage and monitor. Bots are not human so can’t do that or notice slight changes in a persons voice or their facial expressions.
I’m going to go with a no.
Unless the AI is in a female humanoid with big tits.

Bots!?
