It's ironic we assume a technology that hallucinates random garbage will be any better than underpaid and overworked teachers. The solution, to me, would be better paid and better supported teachers.

Underpaid, overworked, and also often the unemployable dregs who would take such a horrible job. In the US we destroyed education by whining about taxes and public employee unions, and cutting the legs out from under it with charters, but that doesn't mean that the teachers that are left are worth anything; in fact it makes it more likely they aren't.
If there's anything I'm both hoping that LLMs will replace, and also think of as one of the most vitally important reasons to have locally running, open models, it's teaching. I'm from the age when teaching was "good," and it was bad. The reason why people remember the teachers they were in love with was because of how distinct they were from the rest.
Teachers can be used to teach hard things, like socialization, cleaning, cooking, and how to do backflips.
