I learnt the most from bad teachers#, but only when motivated. I was forced to go away and really understand things rather than get a sufficient understanding from the teacher. I had to put much more effort in. Teachers don't replace effort, and I see no reasons LLMs will change that. What they do though is reduced the time to finding the relevant content, but I expect at some poorly defined cost.

# The truly good teachers were primarily motivation agents, providing enough content, but doing so in a way that meant I fully engaged.
