No, we're not going to move the goalposts here. You can tweak any argument so that the thread goes nowhere and nobody can update their mental models by positing a sufficiently misguided user of a piece of technology. I'm saying: LLMs are quite good at math tutoring, in many ways probably significantly better than human tutors (they're tireless, can explain any concept 50 different ways, and can rattle off individualized problem sets in seconds). I made that claim, and you pushed back saying that anything I saw "needed to be validated by an expert". You even said that anything I said was an unreliable narrator because I'm studying math. No, to all of this.
