> Homework scores once predicted exam performance

As with most training the journey is the point, not the destination.

That said, I think smart use of AI could help. It could explain concepts in a way that might help you understand better, it could probe your knowledge in a more dynamic way by tailoring questions, and so on. This requires the AI be restrained by some harness, not free to write down the answers for you.

People say that all the time, but does anyone really think a lack of good explanations for things is a limiting factor in 2026? Or even 2010?

How would this magic harness look like and why would anyone use it?
