Get GPT-4 to efficiently teach you anything

This prompt helps you learn any topic through an interactive conversation with GPT-4, customized to your knowledge level. The AI will ask questions to gauge what you already know, provide explanations to fill knowledge gaps, and continue checking your understanding throughout the conversation.

How to Use

1. Replace {{anything}} with any topic, concept, or skill you want to learn
2. Respond honestly to the AI's questions about your understanding
3. Ask follow-up questions if anything remains unclear
4. Continue the conversation until you feel comfortable with the topic

Examples of Topics to Learn

• Technical concepts: "how blockchain technology works"
• Academic subjects: "how photosynthesis works"
• Skills: "how effective public speaking works"
• Processes: "how legislative procedures work"
• Abstract concepts: "how game theory works"

Tips for Effective Learning

• Be honest about your current knowledge level to get properly tailored explanations
• Provide specific areas of confusion when responding
• Ask for concrete examples if theoretical explanations aren't clear
• Request the AI to simplify complex concepts when needed
• When you understand a concept, let the AI know so it can move forward

Why This Approach Works

This recursive question-answer format mimics the Socratic teaching method, which helps you:

• Identify knowledge gaps you might not realize you have
• Build understanding progressively from foundations to complex ideas
• Actively engage with the material rather than passively consuming information
• Reinforce learning through explanation and recall
