This is well written. And it doesn't even focus on AI, which is rare these days. However, I don't fully agree that AI and the interaction it brings are just as flawed. I think used correctly, it will be a big help. Of course, like you mentioned it misses the social and emotional connection, but so do textbooks, and the interaction component is much better. To use your own words, it can lower the burden of metacognition significantly. It can handle the learning path and what exercise to handle when. Maybe even informed upfront by the author. Love it or hate it, I think there is a lot to gain in terms of human learning support in the field of LLMs.
