Is there a single standard for "school?" I was using it as a device to separate out the difference between the two styles. I do recognize that the majority of American schools are simply memorization factories but to focus on that is to miss the argument entirely..

As you've essentially just repeated that same argument with this point. The types of "learning" LLMs are good at are not the types of "learning" people would _expect from a good school_.
I do believe that this will occur, but it simultaneously undercuts your previous arguments in favor of GPTs utility, as they only make sense in a world where education is _purely_ about memorization.
And sorry to reorder this, but...
