With the current progress, human learning seems to be obsolete soon, so there's little point in optimizing an AI for teaching. Unless you mean only as a hobby to pass the time.

Probably I'm not futurist enough, but I'm always amazed at how chill everyone is with supplanting humanity with AIs. Because there doesn't seem to be a place for humans in the future, except maybe in zoos for the AI.
Nah, this is the second part of the industrial revolution. First part replaced and augmented physical abilities so instead of making things by hand we automated away a large portion of the work but not all of it. This is augmentation and automation for intelligence. Yes, a lot of what we currently do "by mind" will be automated but these systems have their limitations. It's still going to be crazy though, imagine what it was like to be the town blacksmith when they first heard of a steam hammer. Nowadays we have very few blacksmiths but we have a lot of people designing parts that will be made on a CNC. What is the role of the human once the labour of clicking away at a mouse hunched over a screen to produce a part is automated? Now we just discuss the end product with the AI, look through some renderings, ask for different versions, ask it to run simulations, tell it to send the file to the CNC? Now that anyone can "design" a part or a whole product by talking to an AI what kind of new jobs does that entail? There might be a big demand for computer controlled production of one off designs. What kind of incredible inventions and wonders can we create now that we can basically conjure our thoughts into existence? There's going to be a whole cross-disciplinary science of combining various areas of human knowledge into new things. Too bad Disney already coined Imagineer.
What you're describing is a cyborg, or a collaboration between man and machine -- something that has arguably been going on at least since a caveman used a stick as a cane.. but it's much more advanced now.
Arguably, a cyborg is no longer fully human, or at least not only human, and as more human faculties are "enhanced" a smaller and smaller portion of the whole remains merely human.
Eventually, the part of the whole which remains human may become vestigial... and then what?
I mean I guess a lot of us might be giving up and expecting an ASI within a short period of AGI that will put an end to our sorry lot pretty quickly
Now if there is just a slow race to AGI then things are going to be very politically messy and violent ( even much more so than now ) in the next decade.
