I can't thank AI enough for how much it has helped me.

By Plane-Community-4310

Was failing A Maths all through secondary 3. I'm extremely introverted, so the thought of approaching the teacher for help and possibly getting judged for my ridiculous queries ain't cutting it as far as I was concerned.


Honestly, when AI chatbots first came out last year, I erroneously assumed they were useless. Besides, I didn't really how to utilize them properly.


But man, things have changed. I tinker with a couple of AI tools now, the game changer being one where I could simply snap a photo of my working and upload it for automated marking, although limitations still exist. Almost immediately I find myself directed to the parts where I messed up, with in-depth explanations provided accordingly. My brain short circuits at times when attempting to make sense of the typically terse Ten Year Series (TYS) answer key, however this AI buddy broke down every step until the solution dawned on me.


It's not like I'm just copying answers, either. I make myself annotate exactly where I went wrong and why, so I'm forced to actually learn from my mistakes.


Thinking back, I genuinely feel for my seniors who already graduated. Can you imagine spending hours just trying to suss out that one tiny mistake tucked away in a calculus problem? Mad respect for them.
