> What does humanities need?

an LLM model soon (if not already) will be enough to provide humanities education.

I am not sure humanities research will even survive



An LLM model is as useful in this regard, as Wikipedia could be.

Seriously, can’t wait for this LLM craze to wind down.


the progress around LLMs continues at incredible speed every day, while humanities as a field has been stuck at the same place for century+.

I am betting on LLM against "humanities"


AI will never replace in-person instruction.

If I pay to learn something, it needs to be from an expert, not from a computer that needs guardrails to prevent it from becoming a Nazi.


"humanities experts" probably exist only at top tier (ivy league and top state) colleges, but the rest of colleges - I have very bad news about the level of their expertise. They are seriously no better than llm
