If I found out I’m paying thousands of dollars in tuition just for my instructors to be learning the very subject matter they’re teaching from LLMs I would be so upset that I might drop out and seek refunds.
Look, if I had a magic button that eliminated LLMs from the planet, I’d have already pressed it. About the best I can do is keep losing Anthropic money with every prompt I give. Hopefully they crash out and we can all run local models once RAM gets cheap enough to buy.
But the fact is that LLMs are actually useful for getting to accurate answers more quickly than slogging through SEO crap, much of which was written by LLMs anyway.

I expect better from a university instructor.
Well, it’s hardly the only place I learn things. But if you can verify a fact that an LLM gives you, it’s still a fact.
Another fact: there’s a pile of human shit out there, too. So you get the truth by hook or by crook.
if I can verify a fact an LLM gave me I’m still:
Sure, humans still lie and manipulate and fuck up all the time. That doesn’t excuse or explain the many flaws of LLMs.
