I wound up having to play with it to get a good format and mix of questions but still way less work than trying to whip up a python script or something by hand.
I had AI write me a program that I type in a clue where i hide a prize, then it creates a series of math questions whose answers correspond to the letters in the clue. 2 or 3 levels deep with a cheap surprise toy and my children are doing like 30-50 math problems no fuss.
Show us the file. I've tried thing like this countless times and when I download the file it would have the equivalent of one question. I'd complain , ChatGPT would apologize and try again, this time it would be the equivalent of two questions.
I tried this with a power point on a paper and it asked me 13 consecutive 'formatting' questions to hide the fact that it didn't want to make it had to create a theoretical situation where if it did not make the presentation I would cause it physical harm. it instantly made it
You can also make it in the theme of whatever they are currently interested in. I did peppa, parkour, cricket and now kpop demon hunters for mine. It’s quite fun
The best LLM/AI opponents (for lack of a better word) effectively say "on the off chance we have created sentient beings, let's pause and figure out these things a bit better". The issue is that in a lot of places in America that will get you laughed out of a room.
Yeah you have to show the worksheet alongside this. I’ve had tons of these messages come out that sound great and the download either doesn’t work or it’s just some jumbled thing that misses the point entirely
it's weird how the world is basically split into "AI is a lying worthless stochastic parrot and people who like it are gullible morons" and the rest of us
when gpt-5 was released it was the first time it generated a list of geometry exercises with images with no errors. the model uses python to plot images. also if asked it can search the web and generate the list using existing public images. 😻
Me after looking at Common Core Math and trash apps like "ST Math" used by my kid's school district. I used Gemini AI Studio to make a better supplementary practice app, with rewards of cursed math memes/interaction generated by nano banana.
You have been able to do this for 2 decades. It’s information parsing except presented in conversational dialogue. You could literally ask Cleverbot for a link to this stuff 20 years ago. Humanity will collapse from being impressed to easily.

You know you can ask it to produce latex, typst or markdown and get something that is actually usable and has correct spacing etc.
I mean this is nice but it's a pretty straight forward problem for an LLM. Even before that it could be procedurally generated pretty easily.
You mean a kid only learn that on the 4th grade? What do they do for math on the previous 3 grades? Count popsicle sticks? The state of American education is truly abismal
love that we're giving machines the worst parts of childhood, can't wait for AI detention slips
Seems like a waste given that there are hundreds of premade worksheets like this available with a quick web search.
