The years are broad though, the nice thing with AI explanations is that they can go deep quickly, and quite precisely down the path you need for your prior experience.

It's not a path, it's a tree, and a downward-facing one at that. To understand the root, you have to understand all of the leaves first, and all of the nodes above them, all the way up.

Most people, if they haven't studied mathematics in university, would need to learn hundreds of concepts just to get to the leaves of the tree, and many of these concepts are truly difficult to understand, requiring weeks of study and practice.

Oh for sure, I'm not denying the value of AI as a teacher, just saying that it's not going to speed things up much over a quality personal teacher/tutor.

		Oh, but it will. Especially in math you depend on definitions and concepts defined earlier, and if you fall behind, perhaps in a class setting, it is hard to catch up, without having somebody who can explain it to you. But, now, with world class knowledge possessing tutor, you can ask for an explanation of missed concepts, even embarrassingly stupid questions you would never ask a person.
