Can't decide if this being so true makes it funny or horrifying!

Really enjoying "Brave New Words, How AI will revolutionise education" by Salman Khan (CEO of Khan Academy).

His take on needing to teach coding in the age of AI sounds grounded and realistic.

Looks like it's hovering around 10% for FSM but the data stops at 2019, I'll look at ONS for any more recent data.

Agree that this is very low (I think ~25% of students get FSM).

I love this animation but is it 'honest' enough to use as an answer to the question "but sir why can't I just do it in python!"?
