I just wish more academic material has problems with answers. I used Chegg when I took a digital logic class for my CS degree. Did I use it to cheat? No, but the textbook was my only source material, and it virtually had no solutions in it.
I would try problems, fail, look at the solution, and see what I did wrong. I ended up doing quite well because of that. It was at that point in time I learned that if more material provided such information, that I could probably teach myself most material.
Currently, I am about to hope on the DSA grind/Leetcode grind. I have tons of textbooks, and of course, it's the same issue. Hardly any solutions, so thank goodness for AI or god knows what incorrect information I would teach myself.
Yeah this is a good way of putting what I was trying to say.
Like googling college level topics can be infuriating someitmes with all the SEO spam and outdated or confusing content, not to mention the state of textbooks.
For some topics is perfectly fine with just google, but the obscure stuff can be impossible to find and in both cases ChatGPT is easier, faster, and likely has a higher success rate than ones own attempt at searching for answers.
