Derek Muller of Veritasium discusses the role of artificial intelligence in education, arguing that while it can be a valuable tool for providing timely feedback and personalized practice, he expresses concern that AI's ability to complete tasks for students could hinder their necessary effortful learning process. He also touches on the limitations of human working memory, referencing System 1 (fast, automatic thinking) and System 2 (slow, effortful thinking) from Daniel Kahneman's work, and suggests that true learning requires building a strong long-term memory through repeated, focused effort.
