Imagine someone in a position of power mandating that LLMs should not be good teachers.

Some manager at LLM provider: "hey, we can sell 'education' ability as a separate product!".

  • You jest, but I’m actually convinced education-tuned LLMs are (today) the only way education outcomes can actually improve in the AI era. As is, students are leveraging them for doing homework which makes homework useless, you want and economically need a model which can work as a 1:1 tutor with minimal supervision (and some hardware so lessons aren’t keyboard-driven).
