AI is a patient tutor that never sighs, never runs out of ways to explain the same thing, and is occasionally confidently wrong about your subject. Both halves of that matter.

The prompts here are built around the distinction that decides whether AI helps or hurts a learner: prompts that make you do the work, versus prompts that do the work for you. Only the first kind is here.
