Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

If you go to the desmos link and change {x^2+y^<1} to {x^2+y^2<.6} it gives just the detail that juts out from the waist without the tulle fabric that flows to the floor.

Nice. I love that you saw the dress as an equation. If you go to desmos and change {x^2+y^<1} to {x^2+y^2<.6} it gives just the detail that juts out from the waist without the tulle fabric that flows to the floor.

See Figure. Use Pythagorean theorem to find d=75.
