@chris@m.objc.io I recently read Amusing Ourselves To Death. It contains a section on how TV was used to in education. The subject matter was chosen so that it would make compelling TV not because of its educational value. The framing of your question appears to have the same dynamic. Flipping the question so that the learning is the primary focus and not the technology might be more illuminating, e.g. ‘can LLMs be useful in improving learning outcomes?’

@benedictc@mas.to I'm not sure I completely understand your point, would you mind elaborating?
