That's a huge distance away from it being a tutor. A tutor would have a plan for how to educate you, and would consistently choose examples and problems to present in order to demonstrate the knowledge they are seeking to impart. It's not about giving you little hints, it's essentially the very opposite.


In my mind, what you are describing is the responsibility of the teacher. I was thinking more along the lines of how parents help their children in their homework. Like the grandparent wrote:

> who can sit down with you and explain things to you when you get stuck, or who can point out mistakes in your existing understanding or your work

That being said, I don't see why what you describe would require AGI. It won't be an excellent teacher or tutor in those tasks, but it may be good enough and make up in the price, availability and repetition.
