Even as a self-motivated learner I fail to see the bigger impact of AI. For a “virtual Feynman” I would prefer the online video courses and books which exist without AI. The best I expect an AI to do is to answer my questions and confirm my understandings. At AI’s current state I can use it as a better search engine but due to hallucinations I can’t expect reliable answers yet.

Asking it “3.11和3.8哪个大” (meaning “Which one is larger, 3.11 or 3.8?” in Chinese) and it answers 3.11 more than half of the time. I assume it’s because Python 3.11 is larger than Python 3.8. While it does work in its native language English, this failure doesn’t give me much confidence in its reliability, as we don’t know why it works in one language but not the other yet.
