What needs to happen is a return to a more Socratic method of teaching the humanities.
Instead of being about the consumption and production of texts -- texts which only the TA and maybe the prof will read ... ever -- the class should be more about the dialectical process of discussing the ideas in the texts and lectures the students consume.
An LLM will be able to easily rattle off an undergrad level paper. But it can't sit in the classroom and have an intelligent conversation with peers.
Of course none of this will happen because it doesn't scale economically nearly as well. It is far more labour intensive.
