One thing I've repeatedly told people is that chatbots are often the most patient teachers we'll ever get (especially when explaining "stupid" questions) — compared to what we've encountered on StackOverflow or Reddit.
Ok, that's fair, and I think that AI isn't that useful for people who don't really know what they want to learn or do.
What I had in mind (and found personally useful myself) was being able to ask a chatbot to break something down into simpler and simpler concepts, until my weak fundamentals or lack of formal education could grasp some bit of it.
I'm not sure many humans (or colleagues at a workplace) would have the patience to tolerate the stupid questions I've been asking.
Maybe that's a point in favor of LLMs? "XY problems" are my pet peevee, because nearly universally whenever I see one called out, it's actually the responder not being able to comprehend that the asker may actually just need X.
I've given private math lessons and seen students struggle with ai, even though ai gave the right answers.
My intuition is that humans spot xy problems easier when teaching (user ask x but really needs y), whereas llms will oblige writing about x.
