AI tools are already widely used in everyday life and make tedious tasks easier for us. But how good are AI tools really? Where might errors lurk?
Advantages of AI in tutoring
Working with AI can bring many advantages. From writing emails to translating or solving math problems, AI can do it all. One huge advantage of AI tutoring is its immediate availability. If I have a difficult question that Google can't answer, I can ask AI and it will answer my question. In addition, many AI tools are free or relatively inexpensive compared to tutoring. AI tools also offer a wide range of applications, from solving math problems to interpreting texts. But how high-quality are the answers?
Disadvantages and risks of AI tutoring
Incorrect information and errors
Well, unfortunately, we have to dispel the illusion of omniscient AI, because it often makes serious mistakes. From incorrect solutions to grammatically incorrect sentences, it's all there. This can be fatal, especially when preparing for an exam. If you learn incorrect solutions, you will reproduce them over and over again.
Where is AI unable to help?
However, it can also be useful if you simply have questions or do not understand texts directly. In such cases, AI such as ChatGPT can be helpful, but it can never replace tutoring. While tutoring involves being taught by trained and qualified personnel, ChatGPT compiles all the information available on the internet without specifically checking whether it is correct or true.
No targeted support
In conventional tutoring, students receive personal attention and solve tasks that have been prepared by experienced teachers. Personal and professional support is particularly important in the beginning in order to understand where the weak points lie and to address them specifically. This allows the teacher to respond to the difficulties of each student individually. The teacher can provide direct feedback and regularly check the student's level of knowledge to demonstrate progress.
Conclusion
In conclusion, AI is a good tool for solving simple tasks. It can be used as a support. However, caution is advised when it comes to solutions. Checking the solutions is therefore a must. In order to make real progress and not have to worry about incorrect solutions and confusing tasks, it is advisable to take private tutoring. Trained educators will help you make progress, and you can learn new things or deepen your existing knowledge through collaboration. Tutoring can take various forms, such as courses or one-on-one tutoring, depending on the student's needs. If you are looking for personal tutoring, you can find our serviceshere.
