This is hysterical. Like the cheaters couldn't even be bothered to proof read what the AI wrote to make sure it was correct.
That happens with classes like history or philosophy, the ones that are considered to be mostly useless blablabla.
Regardless of what history is being taught, people like you often forget that the goal is to also help you develop your brain.
There are many other actually useful studies for that. Math excels in that.
And people not paying attention in philosophy class is why most of the world is ignoring the far-reaching ethical implications of the LLM boom until their own electricity and water disappear.
Math doesn't really train your memory as much as learning history does.
Oh, that's nitpicking. Study chemistry or biology. Those have much things to memorize where logic wouldn't help you much.
