AI is a tool that is gaining increasing visibility and is being used in various functions. Not long ago, people wondered if it could become a version of Skynet's consciousness from the Terminator movie, but it has proven efficient as an assistance tool for solving problems and tasks.
Something that isn't often discussed, and which may be one of the greatest possible hacks to obtain by using Artificial Intelligence, is its ability to help you learn something new!
I'll be much appreaciated if you Votes, Reblogs or give any Tips. Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
Tips for Using AI in Learning
Artificial Intelligence is advancing every day, creating code, assisting in project development, and much more. However, few talk about the possibility of using it to assist in studies, a true modern-day hack. Some AIs have a learning mode, but if you can't find one, just use a simple prompt like, "I would like you to help me learn about topic X. Instead of direct and easy answers, I want a more detailed explanation that helps me understand the subject." This changes the response format to something designed to help you learn, not just to know the answer.
The idea is to use the AI as if it were a teacher or a study partner with whom you exchange ideas and ask if your thinking about the problem is correct, what other possible solutions might be. The interaction is quite broad, and the more you explore different prompts on this subject, the better you will become. Take advantage of the fact that much of this technology is still often freely available to explore and learn something new so you don't get replaced by AI.
The Dangers of Using AI for Learning!
While Artificial Intelligence can be a great tool to help you evolve your knowledge, there is another layer to it that can end up being detrimental to your learning journey, and you need to be very aware of the dangers of using AI to understand new content.
The first issue is about replacement. If you use AI solely to get a direct answer to your question or problem, you'll end up making it more knowledgeable about the subject, when the real goal is for you to learn how to solve the situation. Imagine that in the job market, if you're not responsible for the solution, and only the messenger between the problem and the AI's solution, you'll be easily replaced by it. Therefore, pay attention to how you use it as a tool for your learning and not the other way around, where you become a way to improve its answers by providing human feedback on the solutions presented.
Another danger is excessive trust in the answers provided by AI. This can be a big question, after all, if it can help me learn, how can I doubt the answers? The answer lies in one word: "HALLUCINATION". Chatbot Artificial Intelligences are known as LLMs, and they work by predicting what the next word in the answer will be, meaning they are not necessarily intelligent. Therefore, during the conversation, it may respond with something completely random and meaningless, which is known as hallucination. The solution to this problem is for you to have a minimum of knowledge about the subject, watch content to create a foundation that allows you to evaluate whether the presented answer makes any sense.
