Australian Financial Review

An Australian Financial Review report says a tutoring company is advising parents to skip paid tutoring and use AI tools instead, arguing the technology can deliver similar learning support at little or no cost. The story is drawing attention on Hacker News, where readers are debating whether AI chatbots can genuinely replace human tutors, what this means for the tutoring business, and whether the company's advice is candid, self-promotional or a sign of disruption hitting the education sector.
