I see where you are coming from.

However, in the role of personal teachers they may allow especially our young generations to reach a deeper understanding of maths (and also other topics) much quicker than before. If everyone can have a personal explanation machine to very efficiently satisfy their thirst for knowledge this may well lead to more good mathematicians.

Of course this heavily depends on whether we can get LLMs‘ outputs to be accurate enough.

Something that can instantly tell you the answer to every math question will make people worse at math, not better. Building "mathematical maturity", skill, and understanding requires struggle.
