Practical Ways to Use AI Everyday
3. Learning and Curiosity, On Demand
LLMs are great at explaining things without judgment.
Examples
- “Explain this like I’m 12”
- Understanding medical terms after a doctor visit
- Learning a new hobby (gardening, sourdough, painting, fitness)
- Asking follow-up questions without feeling embarrassed
- Translating or clarifying text
No pressure, no time limits, and no “dumb questions.”
(But sometimes dumb answers, see: Notes About Using AI)
“Explain this 👉 “
