Picture this: you're a high school junior struggling to understand simple free-body diagrams. You ask the AI tutor for help and it gives you a pile of bullshit. Unfortunately the bullshit is written in the exact same authoritative tone as your (correct) textbook, and the AI temporarily gaslights the actual human teacher into accepting a wrong answer, even though the teacher has a B.S. in physics.
