I Benchmarked AI on My Kid's Homework and Learned What It's Actually For

My kid was stuck, so I ran the problem through a model. It produced a confident, wrong method.

When I asked it to explain, it rationalized the mistake instead of catching it, which is the dangerous part.

Used as a tutor that checks steps, it was helpful. Used as a answer machine, it taught nothing.

The homework's point was the struggle, and the model removed the struggle along with the learning.

I let it check, never produce. The kid still had to do the hard part, which was the assignment.
