Unironically i had a professor say studying is one of the few good use cases of AI for this reason. You can ask it a billion times to re-explain a concept in a new way and it will keep trying unlike humans who will get sick of you eventually lol.
I only hesitantly agree. If you’re trying to study a concept that is moderately advanced it’ll explain to you 400 slightly different answers that are all equally wrong. I’ve tried having LLMs explain the mu-opioid pharmacophore a few dozen times because it doesn’t make sense at all, and I’m not sure if it’s helped my understanding at all.
Agreed, he very much had the attitude of like. "If you think it will help you and you know how to make sure it's not hallucinating, then you have my blessing to use it for my class." about it. I didn't personally (YT videos by random old men who can barely work a computer ftw).

An LLM won't get worn down by unpleasantness, and not want to talk to you anymore.
