Okay I was a professor for a bit. Few things I found

- LLMs cannot motivate a person to learn because they aren't people

- Learning requires rewiring your brain; you need to try and read content without explanations of every question you might have. Struggling is required for learning

- LLMs cannot generate structured content on long scales. I have tried this many times. Your average TA can easily write a calculus textbook.

- LLMs are RLHFd to just agree with you. Learning requires disagreement and tutoring requires assuredness
