Using an ai tutor instead of a real tutor… am I gonna regret this?

@coffee_zombie honestly i think mix is best. i did like two real sessions with a human tutor at the start of the semester, then used an ai tutor to keep going. human helped me not be lost, ai tutor helped me not drown in homework every week.

also nice part: ai tutor doesn’t judge when you ask the same dumb thing three times in a row 😂

if you’re gonna test this out, start small. pick one topic, try using an ai tutor just for that, see if your quiz results get better. if yes — keep it. if no — maybe you need a mix of ai tutor, youtube and actual office hours.

but i wouldn’t be scared of the ai tutor itself. the danger is not the tool, it’s using it with your brain turned off.

ok this is actually super helpful, ty everyone 🫶

so i’ll try an ai tutor online but still do my own attempts first and double-check important stuff. if i crash and burn on the first exam i’ll come back and scream in this thread 😂

i used an ai tutor app for like… the whole physics semester 😭
ngl it lowkey carried me, BUT only when i treated it like a tutor, not a cheat code

i’d ask it:
“explain this like i’m 14”
then “ok now give me 3 practice problems”
then “check my steps”

when i tried to use the ai tutor chatbot just for answers, i’d forget everything in 24h 💀
when i used it for extra practice, my brain actually saved some of it

i tested a bunch of ai tutor online things for my little cousin (high school math)
most were trash ngl 💀
the decent ones were the ones that:
– showed steps
– let you ask follow-up questions
– didn’t just spit out the final number

edubrain.ai was pretty ok as an ai tutor for high school students, cuz it didn’t panic when he asked the same thing 3 times in different words 😂
