If you use a prepared lesson plan it at least has some structure to it that students can learn to expect, and if you search for information from the internet, you are still compiling it yourself, which again means structure, a structure _you_ made using information that _you_ have parsed and decided to include. You will also have sources.
None of this will be true for LLM output.
- jjani 1y agoIt can be just as true for LLM output. One can use LLMs simply in a way to gather information, replacing Google by a much better one, and create lesson plans yourself based on the information provided. Nothing stands in the way of you doing that. Just like the many devs on this website who basically use it as a StackOverflow to ask questions to rather than "give me the full code of the solution" and just blindly copy-pasting that in. LLMs with web search enabled also give sources. There's not much reason to believe LLMs are incapable of outputting a similarly well-structured lesson plan as those provided by third parties. It fits well into what they're capable of. The problem is, again, that the teachers in question clearly don't care about the quality of their teaching in the slightest. Are LLMs a tool that could amplify their awfulness further? Sure, but at the same time they can amplify the goodness of the hopefully larger group of teachers who do care.
