I don't disagree with anything you wrote. Especially
> inculcating a love of learning and the life of the mind is the whole ballgame. If the vast majority of students aren't in this boat, and instead they're just trying to check a box to graduate, the whole thing is super broken.
Which... Yup. The whole thing is super broken. It has been for a generation. (It's maybe always been at least a little broken? Complaints about students not caring about the life of the mind and only craving the credential were common in the middle ages, too!)
Here's a counterpoint for discussion, which I'm not sure I fully believe in: LLMs can support life-of-the-mind learning. (Even if you think they aren't there yet, their trajectory is clear.) Even apart from that, they will be used everywhere, outside of the classroom. Don't educators have a responsibility to train students in their responsible use?
