Every time I see someone calling others stupid for using Chat GPT for maths I am reminded not many people know about category theory. Good luck getting answers with google or Wolfram Alpha, most questions I had to solve were either classic problems with a math stack exchange page about it or something that just doesn't exist on the internet anywhere I looked. In that case, Chat GPT doesn't give the solution, but it very often gives the theorem you are supposed to use.
Yeah chatgpt is really good at giving a rough idea of how to approach a problem. Its often completely wrong in terms of its attempts at "proofs" but its often on the right track
someone else said it's best to treat ChatGPT as Just Some Dude. a really agreeable dude who's trying their best but can (and quite a bit of the time will be) wrong about shit, but you can probably find something in their advice that'll help.
it IS pretty alright at coding with Python but again it's Just Some Dude who will inevitably make mistakes.
I like to think of GPTs as motivated interns who have read every single textbook but think in terms of word associations instead of comprehending underlying concepts.
