An assumption and a warning about AI

3. Post also doesn't understand what AI gets right

Gemini and Notebook LM spent several hours last night tutoring my son in Chemistry for his test today. His teacher isn't the greatest so he first used the podcast to give him a 411 lecture from his study and work notes. He then created flashcards and practice quizzes. AI creates these in just a few minutes.

He also knows to walk back through when using AI for tutoring for the occasional hiccup. You should always doublecheck math and formulas anyway, so not a bad habit.

AI in this case is actually better than the teacher for him.

If I had the same tools in HS... Just saying.

So is someone going to tell me my kid should not use the tools that help him get past the limitations of his teacher (you have no choice of who you get)and his socioeconomic status (we cannot afford expensive tutors).

AI is largely just a tool. Don't buy into the hype that is used to both sell it and by others to ban it.
