Traditional self study is difficult and filled with roadblocks because you have no one to ask for help.

Chatgpt helps remove these roadblocks so you get shown the way and then figure out how it was done after.

I think that is problematic for math because figuring out the way is the math. Need to be super disciplined not to ask chatGPT questions that go far into that territory but rather present it with a way devised and then discuss (if possible).

Of course passively reading ChatGPT transcripts isn’t going to help you master math.

But equally problematic is the said roadblocks that - prior to ChatGPT - simply led many learners to stop learning. We finally have a mechanism to adjust difficulty level to the mastery level of the learner. This is fantastic.

True. Without exercises I would say you learned close to nothing.

I never bothered with chatgpt and the whole ai craze, but now I’m curious… thank you!
