I agree, but typical GPT use is actually the opposite of the traditional Socratic mode in which the teacher uses questions to guide the student to understanding. But I wonder how it would do if it was prompted to use the Socratic method.
I tried to teach it the Socratic method. It took some long prompt engineering, but finally it worked. BUT what I realized was that it was always lacking the bigger picture, an agenda of what it wants to teach me.
