Nice, succinct argument for refusing what Khanmigo and all the enthusiasts for using LLMs as personalized tutors are trying to convince us to buy. These are machines with new, interesting, and potentially educationally useful functions, but they do not replace the work that teachers do. And pulled together with a quote from the great book Nothing Personal by the great James Baldwin.
Thanks as always, Rob. The Baldwin quote was just too perfect to pass up. And I've even toyed with writing a book or screenplay about the relationship he had with his teacher Orilla Miller.
