I think research and the ability to summarize are important skills and automating these skills away will have bad downstream effects. I see people on Twitter asking grok to summarize a paragraph so I don't think further cementing this idea that a tool will summarize for you is a good idea.

I'm conflicted about this. Custom tutoring available at all times and at mass sounds like a great thing, if done right. On the other hand, the research skill you mentioned is something that I worry about atrophying as well. Where before, we used to read through 3 or 4 slightly related articles or stackoverflow questions and do the transfer of related topics onto our specific problem ourselves, with a tutor it's all pre-chewed.

Then again, human 1:1 tutoring is the most effective way to learn, isn't it? In the end it'll probably end up being a balance of reading through texts yourself and still researching broadly so you get an idea about the context around whatever it is you're trying to do, and having a tutor available to walk you through if you don't get it?
