For lots of reasons, I don’t like LLMs and I don’t use them, but I know there are serious people working on ways to meaningfully incorporate them into education and I don’t doubt there are ways to do that productively. It’s probably obvious that “Have the LLM tell you the answer” isn’t one of them.

Ha! Quite a few, but not as many as there could be. Lots about aura, of course, and I’ve seen more than one variation of “The Work of Art in the Age of AI” in titles.
