Throughout this thread there's a ton of pessimism so I want to inject a little hope. Bloom's 2 sigma problem (0) tells us that one-on-one tutoring vastly outperforms traditional classroom instruction. An average student given one-on-one instruction performs at the 98th percentile of the traditional classroom student.
How much more human potential is going to be unlocked by these tools? The kid who got pushed ahead to the next math class and is missing prerequisite concepts can now get caught up. The smart middle school student can push past his peers to calculus.
I know these LLM tools aren't perfect, but I know they're getting better fast. I'm super optimistic about what the future holds for education.
