Failed discrete math with a ChatGPT tutor in 2024 — is it good enough now?
boyotech · reddit · 2026-09-19
A software engineering student who works full-time used ChatGPT as a tutor for his discrete math course in 2024 and failed: the model then struggled with complex problems and produced different, incorrect explanations each time. Facing a retake this fall, he asks whether ChatGPT's math performance since mid-2025 has improved enough to replace a paid university tutor, soliciting hands-on experiences from the community.
