@emilymbender I find it quite depressing to imagine a future where teachers just use AI to create courses, and students just use AI to attend courses

It presents learning as a means-to-an-end, and attempts to skip the difficult bits (like having to read, understand nuance, search for sources, discuss with peers). There is no short-cut to learning, the difficulty IS the learning (a quote I like is, "memory is the residue of thought")
