    I started taking daily classes learning the Thai language in person. While I do learn Thai with AI sometimes, I do feel like an AI tutor can't possible give me the same "edge". Because with AI can just sit down, get distracted, turn it off; walk away and procrastinate. With a tutor however, that never happens; there is also personal connection, and the tutor constantly adjusting what you're learning. I am definitely optimistic about AI-learning and tutoring, but really have a hard time seeing it as replacement.
