AI as a Tutor, Not a Ghost Writer
The most valuable use: understanding material you're struggling with, not getting AI to do your work.
"Write me an essay on the French Revolution" → makes you weaker "I'm confused about why the French Revolution happened. Explain it. Then ask me questions to check my understanding." → makes you smarter
High-Value Learning Applications
- Socratic tutoring: "Teach me [concept] by asking questions and guiding me to the answer"
- Practice problems: "Generate 10 practice problems on [topic] at medium difficulty. Tell me if I'm right and why."
- Writing improvement: Submit your draft → "List the 3 weakest arguments and explain how to strengthen each" → you rewrite
- Research: Perplexity.ai for research with citations. Always verify sources.
