AI Tutor not grounded only in course content? Uses general knowledge?
I've been playing around with AI Tutor since it was in Beta and now that it's out of Beta, I'm noticing something different.
During early testing, my understanding was that AI Tutor was grounded in...
I see your point. Some general knowledge is probably necessary to make the tutor useful and provide relevant examples or context.
My concern is less about whether the model has general knowledge and more about where it draws the line. If learners can't tell whether a response is based on approved course content or the model's broader training, there's a risk of introducing information that hasn't been reviewed or validated.
Ideally, the tutor would use general knowledge to clarify and provide examples while keeping its guidance grounded in the course content and learning objectives.
