One of the things that doesn't seem to be emphasised enough is that LLMs can be great as Tutors for students. E.g. They could really help students not understanding fully a section of Mathematics and really break down the logic.

Teachers can also use them to mark homework.

They are a boon as much as they are a bane.

They could, if you wouldn't have to expect them to make hidden mistakes that a learner isn't able to spot. Using an LLM when you are qualified to verify its output is one thing, but a learner often can not do that or only with extreme difficulty, making them unsuitable.

Especially with math, most LLMs will happy explain to you a "proof" for something that isn't proven or known false.
