I think this is wrong and a category error (none of the problems I've given it are in a textbook; they're virtually all randomized), but, try this: just give me a problem to hand off to GPT5, and we'll see how it does.

Further evidence for the faultiness of your claim, if you don't want to take me up on that: I had problems off to GPT5 to check my own answers. None of the dumb mistakes I make or missed opportunities for simplification are in the book, and, again: it's flawless at pointing out those problems, despite being primed with a prompt suggesting I'm pretty sure I have the right answers.
