Yes, I think this kind of combination is where higher ed is going to land. I've been talking to a colleague lately about how social skills and public speaking just got more important (and are things we need to focus on actually teaching). Likewise, I think self-directed, individualized humanistic research is currently not replicable by AI nor likely to be - for instance, generating an entirely new historical archive by conducting oral history interviews. Basically anything that involves operating in the physical world and deploying human emotional skills.

The unsolved issue is scale. 5-10 minute Q&As work well, but are not really doable in a 120 student class like the one I'll be teaching in the fall, let alone the 300-400 student classes some colleagues have.
