A failed attempt to use generative AI to help me understand algebra
Nice piece, and I completely agree. I recently did a thorough review of Khan's new book about AI tutoring and reached similar conclusions. Check it out if you like: https://mattspivey.substack.com/p/i-read-this-book-so-you-dont-have
In our book "Traditional Math" we use a similar example, except we don't use money, we use amount of water flowing out of a tank. If the tank loses water at 30 gal/min, (i.e., -30) how much more water was there 3 minutes ago (i.e., -3) -3 x -30 = 90
Yes, I hope they do too -- it's an interesting debate!
Thank you for the mention, Ben. Hope folks will listen to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-disagreement/id1735027795
