How is this a conterpoint? It proves my point. Either you have been educated in how to read a map and road signs and therefore could navigate without GPS navigation, or you would be screwed without your phone or car.
If you ever have to borrow someone else's car or rent a car that doesn't have nav, and your phone's battery runs out of energy...then you're reliant on your previous education. It doesnt take an apocalypse.

I don't know enough about neuroscience to say anything of meaning. I would assume you would have to articifically connect neurons.
As someone else has pointed out in the comments. Having knowledge of something does not equate to understanding it, let alone being able to implement your understanding. You would have to be able to download the understanding and muscle memory that comes with experience, training, and practice.
If the AI can literally reprogram your brain by reconnecting individual neurons...at what point are you just an organic robot robbed of all agency and a mere play thing of the AI?

That satirical future is looking less fanciful with every passing day. It blows my mind how I hear people want to shove more and more of their responsibilities off on to an AI, tech companies, or gov't while also hearing people complain about how they are products of the system and the system is holding them down. I wonder how much overlap there is between the two groups.

Its going to be a while until AIs are anything more than very fancy pattern recognition algorithms and data aggregators. Even then I think an "AI teacher" would just be an online course guided by an AI to better tailor it to the individual student.
You'll still need a football coach, ballerina teacher, first aid teacher, etc.. Think of anything you learn today that would suffer from a disembodied voice and maybe a youtube video series being your instructor.
Unless AI gets to the point of triggering muscle groups and programming synapsys for us...then frankly we have much larger questions to worry about than "what does education look like?"

So the AI would be educating and training people?

Great point! You would also need to know what and how to ask the AI to get what you need.

Almost the same question was asked a few days ago.
Same answer: Just because we have google, siri, or some future AI has no bearing on education. You still need education to know if any given information is true or reliable regardless of source. You also need to know and practice for times when you don't have access to the all knowing entity or for emergencies when there is only time for action.

- Stronger defamation laws
- I think it will finally force us to pass laws that punish knowingly false accusations or the use of faked/tampered evidence with same punishment as the accused.
Before anyone jumps on me I don't think this will solve everything and it would need some fine tuning like every other law. So maybe 80 or 90% of the punishment for the real crime, but it can't be a slap on the wrist. Also, innocent until proven guility would still apply. It would have a cooling effect on the malicious accusations or some of the false evidence companies others have mentioned. Unfortunately I dont know how to solve the reputation damage issue. The internet spreads the false accusation world wide and allows everyone to find it for all time.

Yes, today's navigation infrastructure within cities is quite robust. You probably won't have to worry about not having at least indirect access to Google Maps unless the GPS or telecom networks go down.
I still don't see how this is a counterpoint. OP's question assumed AI is instanteously available and implied that this means you would just rely on the AI for all info and direction in life. (At least the recent similar questions have all hinted at this) My point is no infrastructure is perfect, infomation transfer takes time which you don't always have, and finally knowledge doesn't equate to understanding or give you the ability to apply the knowledge.
Therefore you will still need to learn, memorize, and practice stuff in anticipation of needing it later or to provide a foundation to build further learning on. Is that not a working definition of education?
