What A.I. can’t do is feel the shape of silence after someone says something so honest we forget we’re here to learn. What it can’t do is pause mid-sentence because it remembered the smell of its father’s old chair. What it can’t do is sit in a room full of people who are trying—and failing—to make sense of something that maybe can’t be made sense of.
That’s the job of teaching.
It’s not about knowing. It’s about being present. About staying long enough to know what to ask. About saying: “I think I know what you mean,” even if we’re wrong. Especially if we’re wrong.
