I think ultimately it just comes down to the ability to ask a question. Googling did a lot for this, but LLM agents are on a whole other level. When someone can just endlessly ask questions and have them answered directly and comprehensibly, they can get past that initial stage of confusion in learning much quicker. It used to be you needed a human tutor to do this. But now an AI system can track and manage your knowledge graph and slowly level you up through direct natural language interaction.


That is so incredibly naive. When you and your family is distracted with trauma and turmoil at every turn, there is no precedent for curiosity about anything except how to survive the current state of affairs. This is extremely basic stuff. It's literally just rational prioritization of concerns. If you can't grasp that, you have other problems that aren't being discussed in this discussion.

Children living in poverty will surely use LLMs, but they will continue to lack the capacity for curiosity and intentional learning. They will use LLMs to assist with the same things they invest their energy in without LLMs, which is their immediate life challenges and psychological escapism. And insufferable people like you will blame them when your ignorant plan inevitably fails.
