The problem isn't LLM, it's how universities are designed. With short terms and high pressure, students develop 'knowledge bulimia' (in lack of a better term). They have to study highly complex fields in short amounts of time, then move on to often unrelated fields quickly thereafter with no emphasize on persistent learning: the knowledge learned in previous exam can be mostly discarded. They may need to 're-learn' it for another exam, but that's fine, they are very good at learning new things which later on can get discarded.

Using LLMs to achieve this is just another step in the evolution of a broken education system. The fix? IMO, make the exams for the courses delayed by one semester. So during the exam study-period, the students have to 'catch up' on the lectures they had a few months ago.
