    I hoped LLMs would be able to help me learn things at first, like a patient tutor I can ask all my stupid questions and it’ll never get annoyed with me

    It can do that for school level stuff because that material is present in it’s input dataset in a redundant manner. For anything niche or domain-specific, it will hallucinate or fail.

    I believe that when the bubble bursts, education will be one genuine usecase for LLMs.

      When the bubble bursts, what will survive is what makes money. Education doesn’t make money unless it’s in the national interest.
