Jason Mentors The Next Generation + Why AI Is Bad at Teaching (Aristotle Interview) | E2346

Frontier AI models optimize for answers over understanding, opening a defensible niche for purpose-built tutoring harnesses like Aristotle, priced near $200/month.

• AI is getting worse at teaching: Aristotle's Sean Reddy argues frontier models optimize for fast, verbose answers (coding, enterprise Q&A), not productive struggle, so pedagogy regresses even as raw capability improves.
• Pricing mirrors human tutoring: Aristotle charges per-session packs plus a $199/month unlimited tier (students logging 60+ hours/month), deliberately priced close to real tutors rather than cheap chatbot rates.
