I cannot faithfully summarize this excellent thread.
LLMs should not be used in education. They are next-word predictors, are not checked for hallucinations, and are software looking for buyers rather than using any rigor at all to improve education.
One of the things I research is the cooperation of cultural institutions like museums in pitching tech products--specifically AI--to the public. This is advertising for the capacity of AI to educate and thus to reshape education itself as a project better left to private tech companies. 1/n
