    I think speed would be irrelevant, or perhaps would discourage deep engagement with the problems.

    I think presenting it as AI can be wrong is not as valuable as presenting it as developing the ability to question what one is told. (e.g. Verizon Math)

      indeed I agree with you however studies have shown that kids have access to interfaces to chat with an LLM from a young age, and the traction this technology is taking is increasing. Indeed verizon math seems more whole when it comes to topic variety.

      regarding the speed comment, yes it is removed because eventually it would teach rushing. Thanks!
