Although the development of artificial intelligence has made rapid progress, teachers are unlikely to be completely replaced for a long time. Education is a complex process involving human intelligence, emotion and social communication, and human teachers still play an irreplaceable role in many aspects.

One of the most important functions of teachers is to provide high-quality education and guidance so that students can acquire knowledge and skills. In this process, teachers also need to understand each student's personality and learning ability and give personalized guidance and support. This requires human teachers to have human understanding, judgment and empathy, which cannot be achieved by artificial intelligence technology at present.

In addition, teachers also play an important social role. They are not only instructors of learners, but also role models and psychological supporters of students. In this process, teachers build trust and interaction with students to help students develop social skills, interpersonal relationships and emotional health.

Nevertheless, with the continuous development and popularization of artificial intelligence technology, the teaching profession is also facing some new challenges. For example, artificial intelligence can provide personalized learning support through adaptive learning system and online education platform, thus improving learning effect. Therefore, teachers need to actively adapt to the progress of technology in order to better play their role.

In short, despite the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, teachers will not be completely replaced for a long time. Teachers have irreplaceable human nature and social functions, and they can play a better role by constantly learning and adapting to new technologies.
