I think htere is a future for AI tools in learning, and I think they could be hugely valuable, the problem is that we aren't teaching anyone (or learning as a society) how to use these tools well, and using them well will require discipline.
In education today there's a lot of focus on knowledge and testing, and therefore it's fairly natural for AI to be used to just answer questions instead of as a learning aid. If we had a focus more on understanding, I'd hope that use of AI would be more exploratory, with more back and forth to help students learn in a way that works for them. After all, if LLMs are basically just text calculators, every student having a concept explained to them in exactly the language they need would be pretty amazing.
