Ask HN: How are you using AI to learn?

4•mfalcon•1h ago
It's time to start learning advanced topics again and I thought it'd be at least interesting to take advantage of LLM's to help me learn better or faster.

I've read here that some of you are using "socratic skills" where you give the LLM some content and then you get a series of questions in order to learn but I don't think it's the only approach to this.

I'll start tackling the "Attention is all you need" paper and then I want to go deeper.

What's your approach?

I’ve had claude code create a practice project for me to learn SQL. I had it create 12 projects of graded difficulty with automated tests. It was super helpful. I had to revise the lessons as I was completing them, but overall it worked fantastically.

AI is effective when combined with traditional approaches. I usually ask users to provide existing trusted educational resources with user reviews, create a roadmap for learning skills, and then provide examples for specific cases. Even when I am taking a course on learning portal, I often ask AI about alternatives
