I agree with you. And, I'm not sure LLMs help me learn high level concepts (yet). They certainly have those concepts inside their training data and you can extract the concepts if you do the work. But, in a lot of domains, and this applies to someone old like me and someome young like my kids, knowing what to ask is the central problem.
This applies to what I see my kids doing with AI: I don't think LLMs, right now, encourage them to learn concepts as much as they quickly give them answers.
I don't see ChatGPT Study Mode as fulfilling on this, in my limited usage, but I would love to be wrong about that. Its a good direction indeed.
Probably this is the new frontier, where the best students are the ones that figure out how to use these tools to learn "deeply" rather than just jumping to the answers. Maybe that is how it has always been?
