Quoting @anabology's experiment giving Claude 12 hours to create "The Clodyssey," the poster argues AI upends the old education sequence—facts first, meaning last. With AI, a twelve-year curriculum compresses into twelve hours: wonder no longer waits on competence, and a child can feel the sea before naming the myth. The real question isn't whether machines can teach, but whether we'll make understanding feel like a voyage rather than a task.
