minus-squarenednobbins@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·19 hours agoThis is one thing LLMs are actually fairly good at; teaching you stuff you don’t know. While AI’s are much worse teachers than humans are, they’re far better than trying to figure out complicated things on your own. I’ve gone through many iterations of “Hey LLM, teach me how to do XYZ.” Then I try it. If it works, I ask for more, if it doesn’t I tell it to fix it. That’s not always a viable path (eg don’t try to learn medicine or stunt driving that way) but when mistakes are safe and cheap, it’s great.
