I specifically liked math and physics because these were something I didn't have to memorize or repeat constantly. While other subjects felt forced rote memorization. Same with code though. Writing things down feels like a chore mostly, so I am personally glad AI is here.

I didn't mean rote memorization, which I agree is what other subjects were like, we used to say "campaign learning", because we studied the material just for the exams. But with math problems for me the trouble is that I didn't put in the work, I would see for example equations solved on the blackboard and it made perfect sense at the time, but because I would skip practicing at home, I would forget some of the steps and would get stuck.

I am skeptical that you were able to get any good at Maths or Physics without drilling problems.
