I'm no LLM fanboy and I do know about their issues and shortcomings.
I also think that asking the right questions to a model while following a lecture, assessing its answers and integrating them into one's own reasoning is difficult. There is certainly a minimum age/experience level under which this process will generally fail, possibly hindering the learning outcome.
Nevertheless, I saw with my own eyes a mid-level student significantly improving his understanding of a difficult topic because he had access to a LLM in real time. I believe this is a breakthrough. Time will tell.
