I found I never once reviewed them. If anything, it distracted me from paying attention while writing. Doing the HW OTOH…that was the game changer for understanding (math).

I do think AI has a place for sure, but one cannot be successful with it if they don’t know the right questions or prompts to give it…which is why one must not use it in college…if one is extremely disciplined, one can do homework truly by themselves and have it be reviewed by AI, but few, if any kids will be capable of being disciplined enough to use it correctly. Similarly, one must learn their multiplication tables before using a calculator.
