Yes, you design a curriculum and feed it to the LLM. One person con do that for a course once, and then you can broadly leave it like that, with occasional updates - while each student gets their own personal teacher.

Educational cost could plummet like a rock while significantly improving results, if we just dare to allow it!

Yes, I mentioned "testing" twice already. And most of that could be done via LLM as well, at least a coarse pre-screening for the obvious frauds. Also, where are all those people who claim to be Physicists "simply because they talked to an Physicist for a few hours"? You send the children through the curriculum, then you test them, as I said. Doesn't even have to be the same institution that does it.

School as we know it is a dead institution walking, and good riddance, and I very much hope the universities as we know them will cease to exists right along with it.

Also, when can we expect this to happen? I mean, I've been waiting for this since computers, then the Internet, and now LLMs have been around for several years, so just curious.

"Testing" is not really a good indicator of whether you were properly educated - that's why students get an overall grade not solely based on the year-end test.

I'm also not sure why you think testing would not go obsolete with traditional schooling?
