Having access to knowledge is not the same thing as being educated.

Education not only causes knowledge to be retained; it also causes it to be integrated together, so that we can view the world in a cross-disciplinary way, and informs our behavior in ways both profound and mundane.

For example, when you see someone tailgating in traffic, you know they slept through their math and physics classes. No amount of information on tap will change their stupid behavior the way education could.

Even with all the information made available to the public about the coronavirus, people still act in stupendous ignorance of the consequences of their bad behavior, and spread the disease in entirely avoidable ways.

My hope is that LLMs like ChatGPT can be integrated into virtual tutors, so that students can get better individualized attention and receive the education we all need them to have.
