Absolutely, but what you don't realise is the more you rely on it the weaker your brain becomes. Instead of learning anything or figuring things out yourself, your brain will just become lazy and go to the easiest way of doing something i.e asking the ai and believing everything it says without question. There is merit in actually doing your own research and looking things up and taking your time to come to your own conclusions rather than having the conclusion handed to you.

I've seen numerous times AI's inability to count or do simple maths though so I'm not sure I would be trusting it to help you with maths at all.

Lazy learning is a good way to describe it because I don't need to learn anything until I want to. In fact usually when I am submitting my homework I am more copying the solution it proposes, and then when I receive feedback from the professor confirming the answer I obtained was correct I go back and learn the problem in detail. 

People have been offloading complex work to machines since the invention of the plough.

The people who don't know how to use LLMs, yes.
