Even if you want it to, how could it make a very engaging environment when deep down inside you know it's fake?

Student: "Hey LLM, I'm having trouble learning this concept."
LLM: "Here's a real story that a teacher shared with us that will help explain this topic..."
(Later)
LLM: "Remember that story from before? Here's another story from that same teacher to further explain..."
You guys are making it seem like this is a common occurence and I've never heard of anything like this. I've never heard of teachers frequently sharing personalized stories that are also true to help people learn a subject.
In fact, the opposite, most subjects like math or physics have made-up problems to isolate and make simple the concept they're trying to teach. Adding a constraint for realism would just be needlessly complicated.
Also not scalable - if these stories are so effective, why not put them in a book to share with everyone?
The only stories any of my teachers ever shared with me were historical events that were grounded in reality.
Are there just a whole bunch of educational institutions that are teaching things around a campfire and a long-form stories like in ancient times?
So, like all good fiction from the Iliad and Odyssey to soap operas and Star Trek and wrestling kayfabe?
If anything I expect a problem where AI will become too capable at making things entertaining, such that reality no longer appeals.
