Learning remotely is hard, especially for kids. People will just get normal tutors.

Not a kid, but I got a math tutor remotely. 1:1 a lot of the group remote problems go away. And market differences make a huge difference in affordability.

People will get/prefer normal tutors when they can afford, yes. But good high school kids would be able to learn from remote tutors too, and those would be affordable for most families.

This is what I'm most excited for in LLMs. GPT4 Code Interpreter was created by taking the Base Model GPT4 + Layer of programming questions. I hope they do the same for a math tutor model or open up the base model for others to do so.

How does that follow from GP’s point? If remote interaction with a human doesn’t quite measure up to face-to-face interaction, how does an LLM improve upon that?

Major difference between a personalized tutor LLM and remote teaching an entire classroom.
