We have stories of employees becoming 3x, 10x more productive using LLMs. What if our high school students were learning 3x, 10x, more per semester than they do now?

It's easy to turn out 10x more mediocre ad copy. It's a lot different to actually learn and comprehend 10x more material. These are not even remotely equivalent tasks.
