I don't think anyone is suggesting to allocate all of any hypothetical surplus to teacher pay.
We're spending so much more on education than the past. Teacher pay has fallen further behind other professions, and working conditions have gotten substantially worse, overall. Expecting tech to be a panacea and get us out of this mess is unrealistic. And there's a reasonable fear that promises of tech may be a justification to make the mess even worse.
