What is the solution? Toss out thousands of years of tested pedagogy which shows that most people learn by trying things, asking questions, and working through problems with assistance and instead tell everyone to read a textbook by themselves and learn through osmosis?
So what if the LLM is wrong about something. Human teachers are wrong about things, you are wrong about things, I am wrong about things. We figure it out when it doesn't work the way we thought and adjust our thinking. We aren't learning how to operate experimental nuclear reactors here, where messing up results in half a country getting irradiated. We are learning things for fun, hobbies, and self-betterment.
