General Discussion

I think the responses were pretty good. This technology isn't going away. My primary use case these days is me doing many exercises in stats, machine learning, and optimization and feeding my handwritten answers from my ipad to the bot to critique. It is applicable to my work and is strictly self-learning - not for a class. The bot does a great job - sometimes it catches me being wrong, but most of the time I am right, but it shows me a better more elegant solution that I definitely learn from as well. Sometimes I debate with the bot about even better solutions or call out something I think they got wrong (it has been pretty accurate lately - impressively so, but it is still very much a trust, but verify tool). I also use it because I gave it very precise instructions for how to teach me Japanese based on a textbook I have - I upload the contents chapter by chapter - I do drills on vocab and grammar and then converse with the bot based on the level I am at. Much better than Duolingo which I used before.
