AI made this app lazy and worthless
I miss the old Chegg. Back when you could snap a picture of a homework problem you’re stuck on, and see other students who posted the same question and get answers and explanations written by REAL PEOPLE and rated by users for their accuracy.
I can’t for the life of me find the “old” system of posted questions and answers anymore. It forces you to go through an AI chatbot that sometimes doesn’t have the answer you need. You can’t avoid the chatbot, the app IS a chatbot. As far as I can tell the old Chegg is gone, along with the value of the subscription. Why would I pay $16 a month for a glorified chatbot when I could A: use ChatGPT and use my best judgement to decide whether its answer is legitimate or just AI-generated nonsense, or B: switch to one of Chegg’s competitors that still uses something similar to the old post system?
In my opinion, Chegg has thrown away what made it useful and somewhat unique in favor of jumping on the AI bandwagon, but continuing to charge the same subscription even though it’s now just a paywalled AI bot with a fancy interface and not an actual service centered around real people that you would want to pay for.

Don’t use this app
I used it for one assignment and they charged me $20 twice without even asking whether or not I wanted to pay. Didn’t even know paying for it was an option until I checked my bank statement
Worse place to find a solution
This is nothing but a waste of time ... y'all don't use it because it's not what you want that you will get.. firstly, they lied on unlimited solutions, secondly, all answers are freaking wrong. Tch
