The fundamental service a teacher provides is personalized feedback, quickly identifying where you are stuck and focusing the explanations and exercises on that area, drastically increasing the speed and quality of learning versus the self-supervised route.
The lack of this closed loop effectively killed the high hopes that were placed in e-learning and MOOCs 15-20 years ago, TV learning in the 1960s and many other failed revolutions, seems every generation has its own version.
It appears to me LLMs have a real potential to close this loop and become the failed educational revolution of our own generation.

Many of the exercise books don't have worked out answers, so often you're either stuck or you have to hunt a variety of sources online for solutions and advice. It kills flow.
