Not sure the condescending tone is really necessary. I’d agree with you if the parent comment was saying they asked an LLM to create a math curriculum and problems for them. But they’re using an established app created by a math major and then using LLMs to ask questions. It’s easier to validate the responses you get back in those cases.
- getnormality 1y agoI think students are not a reliable source of information about the effectiveness of LLM tutoring. There is no 100% nice way to say this, but I did my best. You're free to disagree, but I think the tone criticism is off-base.
- voidhorse 1y agoI agree with you completely. People mistake the impression of learning for learning itself super easily. This is why we have examinations and other tests of mastery, after all. I think using LLMs for generating exams or supplementary material is great, but using them to develop accurate understanding that would actually turn into long term retention seems dubious to me.
