I'm a Maths Undergrad, it blows me when I use chatgpt, it helps me to understand theorems, I used to struggle to understand. I can immediately ask my query, I would say 8 out of 10 times, it's response was very helpful to me. Also it's not that I completely rely on it, I also do Google, but only if I want in more depth. I also wanted to use other alternatives too, but I have gave up. They are like wastage of time for me now. Chatgpt free version is far superior than Gemini free version. Claude free version is too limited, else it matches Chatgpt.

I’m extremely curious to hear more about your experiences with this! Is it a matter of providing working examples to understand the boundaries of different theorems?

  I would say, how it has helped me is : My prof's teaching is not that good, he skips several things (not basic) while teaching & when I refer textbook, I don't get it. Theorem consists of several statements, conditions, and understanding of those things where & why they are required, what happens without those conditions? To understand theorems, I never asked it for providing examples. But I asked it to prove some difficult exercises from textbook and it was able to do it. In my experience, all this improves my learning. Also sometimes for problem solving, I want to know, what are different techniques to solve that problem. And it does very good job. I've never asked it to do basic additions or calculation, because I have heard from others, it does calculation wrong. Some times it couldn't answer average question. But for my use case, I find it extremely beneficial.

  Is it sarcasm? Due to mistake in my comment "blows me" ?

    No just a fun typo I wanted to point out

In guessing English isn’t your primary language based on the wording in the above comment. Hopefully this is a helpful FYI: “Blows me” is a sexual euphemism for someone getting their dick sucked. “Blows my mind” means your head exploded because something was too awesome.

  Thanks for pointing out. Yes, english is not my first language. When I was reviewing my comment. I also found my comment missing something in it. But honestly I really didn't know that "blows me" was something different.

    "blows me away" would work as well
