 What are your thoughts on this?

They are calling the "learning coach" an ex-teacher. So he's no longer a teacher. I guess teachers will become obsolete in time.
This will change education and all aspects of how children grow up, develop etc..  The surveillance... ! Which leads into acceptance of being surveilled at work, privacy and a whole other can of worms. I'm happy that I home educated mine and glad I'm not in the matrix now with younger kiddies.

 good riddance to the modern teacher. 

 
 Why waste the time having the class room then just have them enjoy the subpar experinece remotely?

I guess the market will figure this one out once the kids that come out of this process are completely cooked and can't do anything but prompt chat bots 
 We are social creatures that’s the one reason we will still have schools. 
 It would be great if schools would embrace the social aspect instead of survival in a large group competing against each other.

 
 In theory..  but school most often fails to provide a safe and quality social environment. In fact, often achieves the opposite. Putting children into a class of 30 kids all the same age does not even adequately "socialise" or prepare them for life in the real world. 
 There were teachers before schools, and there always be those who guide or will be mentoring or tutoring others... From the learning pov AI could be quite helpful, assessing the understanding level of each student and providing individualized lessons on certain subjects. This would also diversify the learning environments, not everyone needs to sit at the same classroom from 9-15.
Privacy and other topics you mentioned are the 🤢 side of this. It would be us humans turning the technolofy againts us.
