Imagine in, say, a year or two from now we've got open source language models that can take in even just---say---an entire chapter or two of a textbook as context. That's probably an overestimate of how far we are, but still let's go with in the next couple of years.
So if you can paste in an entire chapter as context for the LLM, what kinds of possibilities open up for interactions? Well, as a student you could ask for a study guide, a set of potential quiz questions, vocabulary to memorize, an outline of the chapter, &c. As an instructor you could ask for potential homework questions, quiz ideas, class activities, &c. As an instructor, the results aren't anything mindblowing but they're enough to get your curriculum design brain churning when you might be drawing a blank. As a student, they're useful for giving you different ways to review the material. You don't want to rely on it as a source of final knowledge, but it's very valuable for getting quick reminders after you've read the material once. In fact, I think you could also use it to prime yourself in terms of

As a student, they're useful for giving you different ways to review or practice the material.
For example, I was looking at the ccog page for a CS class, specifically our CS 201. I pasted into GPT4 the straight up text from the page and then started asking for study plans, outlines, self-quizzes, &c. It worked shockingly well and all it had was the additional ccog context in addition to the information contained in the corpus, which is fairly standard and well-defined material about low-level programming. The kind of patterns that can be learned from wikipedia, stack overflow, university course sites on programming and such. I was even able to generate a set of practice programming assignments for each topic /with/ code skeletons and hints in comments. That would have been so useful when I was first learning programming.
