I was part of the first generation brought up with computers, and I've been spending my entire life since trying to figure out what went wrong and how to teach myself all of the things that computers failed to convey, while everyone tries to exploit the "gap" to attack their political opponents. It's been a riot.

You don't hate the computer teaching. You hate the corporate owner of said computer teaching.
No, it's more than that. A computer, at least until we develop some sort of AGI, has no compassion, no understanding of human emotions, no actual awareness of who it is teaching.
