And then I switched to a one-on-one tutor.
And I guess what was fascinating to me is I think I had a really good tutor, but I mean, just thinking through like what this tutor was doing for me and how incredible that experience was and how high the bar is for like what I actually want to build eventually.
Because I mean, she was extremely, so she instantly from a very short conversation understood like where I am as a student, what I know and don't know.
And she was able to like probe exactly like the kinds of questions or things to understand my world model.
No LLM will do that for you 100% right now, not even close, right?
But a tutor will do that if they're good.
Once she understands, she actually like really served me all the things that I needed at my current sliver of capability.
I need to be always appropriately challenged.
I can't be faced with something too hard or too trivial.
And a tutor is really good at serving you just the right stuff.
And so basically I felt like I was the only constraint to learning, like my own.
I was the only constraint.
I was always given the perfect information.
I'm the only constraint.
And I felt good because I'm the only impediment that exists.
It's not that I can't find knowledge or that it's not properly explained or et cetera.
Like it's just my ability to memorize and so on.
And this is what I want for people.
How do you automate that?
So a very good question about the current capability, you don't.
