I'm a humanities person through and through. I love reading, writing, discussing ideas. But I had to take a statistics class for my major, and it was genuinely destroying me. I spent hours on problems, went to office hours, watched YouTube tutorials—nothing clicked. Out of desperation, I tried an AI homework helper that could solve math problems and explain the steps.
I didn't just copy the answers. I used it to check my work, and when I got something wrong, I'd ask it to explain where I messed up. It was like having a patient tutor who would repeat themselves as many times as I needed. I ended up passing the class with a B-, which felt like a victory. I know some people will say I cheated, but I genuinely feel like I learned more from that AI than from my textbook or lectures. Has anyone else used AI as a math tutor? How do you feel about it?
