    I wouldn’t mind if online textbooks had a button on the side that is just a looser search (like what Google was a few years ago).

    It’d be handy if I could type in “gravity problem with the bunny” instead of having to either search for “bunny” and flip through all the results, or try to remember/guess the exact wording of the problem.

    You probably could still call it AI too, since there’s likely some small machine learning model involved in that search.

      That’s something I think AI could do really good for education. “I’ve been learning combinatorial theory - these are my notes - where would I look to understand how that relates to the Standard Model?”
