I am afraid that AI tutors and teachers will slow down our progress in ethics and moral issues.

Model X trained on all our data thinks Y is ok and that permeates lessons here and there. Raising a generation that does not rightfully challenge Y as it should.

As a somewhat stupid example: had LLMs been invented in thr 1800's would they teach whatever topic with an underlying sentiment that slavery is a just and natural state?

Teachers and tutors have always been an influence in the formative years of younger minds. I am afraid of substituting that human influence bringing intellectual and moral challenges for a one-size-fits-all frozen in time pasteurized worldview.

To be clear: LLMs as educational tools; inevitable. LLMs as teachers - no, please

Let me know if this is a stupid feeling (and a feeling is all I have) or if it is too much of a Old Man Yells at Cloud thing

You make a good point. Something I hadn't been able to put my finger on but which was bothering me on a subliminar level.

It is likely that a main LLM will dominate the play field (network effects) and it will breed a thinking monoculture. The more entrenched it becomes, the less resilient society will be, because we will become over reliant on its model weights.
