Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They're famously terrible at math, you can relatively easily offload that to a conventional program

I didn't mean for children (aside from generating learning materials). They can be wrong - it's crippling to teach the fundamentals wrong, and children probably lack the nuance to keep from asking leading questions

I meant more for high school, college, and beyond. I've been using it for programming this way - the docs for what I'm using suck and are very dry, getting chat gpt to write an explanation and examples is far more digestible. If you ask correctly, it'll explain very technical topics in a relatable way

Even with math, you could probably get a better calculus education than I got... It'll be able to explain concepts and their application - I had zero interest in calculus because I little explanation on why I should learn it or what it's good for, I only really started to learn it when it came up in kerbal space program and I had a reason

But you should never trust its math answers lol
