Don't we already have books written by professionals with hopefully years of experience? And these are given out to the students... Do you remember your school textbooks? At best you could say they were optimised for some sort of median student that prefers the 'standard' way of acquiring information. If that's not you, or you want to learn information outside the textbook you are out of luck. LLMs have the potential to be the infinitely patient teacher that will explain the things over and over in as many different ways as necessary for each student to fully understand the information. Beyond that, from about 6th grade or so we were definitely expected to start going beyond our textbooks for some assignments. Going to the school library or taking my bike to the local library to work on assignments was not uncommon.
