In HS, I initially found planar and 3D geometry challenging because I couldn't picture anything. Then I quickly figured out how to get the right answers without visualization
I've seen several people (some I follow and regard highly) say they'd like "AI slop" labeled for convenience; or they feel they must be "on the lookout" for it.
