With its sycophancy, I would not be surprised to see ChatGPT provide a nasal based curriculum as well (theonion.com/parents-of-n...). I have found that frontier models still generally support the myth of learning styles, but that deep research typically finds the massive evidence against them.

It may sound appealing on the surface to cut indirect costs of research (more money to the researchers!), and speaking as a researcher, it certainly would be nice to have more funding to use to pay for students and collaborators. But it isn't this simple... www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtqK...

The data so far on AI-as-a-tutor shows just letting students use AI chatbots can undermine education because the AI gives the illusion of learning But AIs properly prompted to act like tutors, especially with instructor support, seem to be able to boost learning a lot through customized instruction

Expect the next UX battle in AI to be over what "thinking tokens" to show DeepSeek found that producing less pleasant (mixed languages, etc) thoughts might get better outcomes, but people didn't like them. They trained r1 to show nicer thoughts, which makes DeepSeek nice to use & more viral to try.
