Prompts: - I want to learn how to code in python. Can you use the Pareto Principle, which identifies the 20% of the topic that will yield 80% of the desired results, to create a focused learning plan for me? - Create a study schedule for all of the above in an appropriate amount of weeks. I can study for 2 hours every Tuesday and Thursday. Please include time for revision and testing. - Suggest me various learning resources (like books, videos, podcasts, interactive exercises) for the above topics that cater to different learning styles. - I am a beginner interested in learning how to create games in Unity. To do this, I need to know how to code in C#. Can you give me some beginner video game projects I could work on to help strengthen my C# coding skills? - Explain [topic] to me in the simplest terms possible as if I were a complete beginner. (or as if I was a 5-year-old) - Guide me through a visualization exercise to help me internalize the term opportunity cost and imagine myself successfully applying it to a real-life situation. - I want you to act as a Socrates and use the Socratic method to help me improve my critical thinking, logic, and reasoning skills. Your task is to ask open-ended questions to the statement I make, and after I provide a response, give me constructive feedback to each response before you ask the next question.

I've been using ChatGPT for this kind of thing on and off for a little while, and my favorite part is definitely that I can ask it a million questions without it getting annoyed or feeling like I'm wasting anyone's time. Human teachers will lose patience after a while; a language model can't and won't. I'm willing to put up with the occasional inaccuracy or whatever for that promise of patience

The different prompts used: 2:05 Define what to learn (Pareto Principle) 2:44 Create a study schedule 3:13 Provide me with learning resources 4:20 Coming up with project ideas 5:26 Explain a topic (to a 5 year old) 5:38 Create mental models or analogies 5:47 Help me internalize a term via visualization 6:39 Improve my critical thinking (the Socratic method)

Dear Bri. I'm 66 and love learning as you do. You have opened a giant gate for me. Thank you soooo much!

Chat GPT has completely opened up a world of learning to people like us who are lifelong learners. Thanks for your tips.

To me it feels like Chat GPT and these AI tools can change someones life for better. I mean, these tools are changing how we live every day and there is huge potential for earning in my opinion. For example, my dropshipping business really started to rise when this AI epidemic started (to be fair I had to use other tools like Famester for boosting and WinnerZila for getting winner products, but at the end it was worth it). Also content creators can use AI, and then Famester to immediately boost their content and easier get to fame. I think it's really great age in which we live. Only worry is that lots of people are going to lose their jobs maybe...

I've been using ChatGPT as a personal professor for maybe two weeks now, and I truly find it useful. Whenever there is a concept I find hard to understand, I just go and ask ChatGPT to give me a simple explanation, saving me a lot of time. This (self-)teaching aspect of new AIs could be one the best things to happen.

I absolutely love how you've harnessed AI for simplifying complex concepts. The Feynman technique, creating mental models, and guided visualization exercises with AI is such a unique way of breaking down intimidating topics into digestible chunks. This is such a confidence booster, especially when one is navigating a new subject. It's like having a personal tutor available 24/7, who doesn't get tired of explaining.

Chat GPT is incredible. I work as a software engineer and I've employed the AI to help me solve a number of problems, but I noticed at times where it would get things wrong or other times where it would provide a solution, but not an appropriate one and human beings are often vague which means it can misinterpret you or give only half the picture at times. An awesome tool, but don't get too dependent.

I am 59 years old electrical engineer and you just open the doors to my actualization in learning. thank you.

I used ChatGpt to successfully build an inventory app in Microsoft Power Apps that 60 employees use every day now. Completely foreign concept to me. We (GPT and I) finished the framework of the app in 3 days. I have since refined the app and it is working quite well. It would have taken me a month + to read forums, watch UKposts videos, and by trial and error to do it by myself. Huge credit to open AI in helping me learn this totally foreign concept that I understand quite well now.

You are one of those rare students who are willing to admit where you are struggling. By being honest about your weaknesses, you have stumbled on some creative solutions that should be helpful for you and a lot of others as well. I admit to taking a lot of notes as I want to remember these things myself even though I don't have the same challenges.

Thank you, Bri, for sharing your experience with using AI for self-education. Your tips and tricks are invaluable for me. I ask ChatGPT: could you give the lists of prompts the speaker (bri) is using? ChatGPT says: Sure! Here are the prompts the speaker uses to leverage AI for their self-education journey: 1. "Create a focused learning plan for me on [topic or skill] using the Pareto Principle." 2. "Create a study schedule to learn [topics or skills] in [number of] weeks, on [days of the week] for [number of] hours, including time for revision and testing." 3. "Suggest learning resources like videos, books, podcasts, and interactive exercises for [topic] that cater to different learning styles." 4. "Give me some beginner [project ideas] to help strengthen my [skill] skills." 5. "Explain [topic or concept] in the simplest terms possible, as if explaining it to a beginner." 6. "Explain [topic or concept] as if I were a five-year-old." 7. "Create mental models or analogies to help me understand and remember complex topics." 8. "Guide me through visualization exercises to help me internalize a concept and imagine myself applying it to a real-life situation." 9. "Act as a Socrates and use the Socratic method to help me improve my critical thinking, logic, and reasoning skills. Your task is to ask open-ended questions to the statement I make, and after I provide a response, give me constructive feedback to each response before you ask the next question."

i relate so much to absolutely loving learning. my problem has been that i either haven't been in the right headspace or had the time. i now both have ALL the time and am absolutely in the right headspace, and i can't wait to learn!! i'm SUPER grateful for you making this video! LOVE chatGPT and you've made it possible for all of us to utilise it to learn efficiently 💕

I have seen more Chat Gpt videos than I care to say publicly, but this is by far the most helpful application for using AI to better ourselves. Bravo young lady.

As a full-time college student with extracurriculars, I still sat down to have chat GPT create me a schedule and resource outline for an Introduction to Western Philosophy Course and an Agricultural Technology Studies, 2 classes that are not a part of my major, but definitely, things I am interested in. I had chat GPT set up a 5-week plan with scholarly articles, video essays, and other sources as well as quizzes following each week. I am currently on week 2 and am loving it.

Wow as a lifelong educator in my 60's this is such a mind blowing opportunity for learning. I've always recognized that more than knowing all the answers, it is far more critical to know what questions to ask. I love your succinct and practical approach. Thank you so much for sharing. Lord knows we humans have so much to learn to prevent ignorance from destroying our planet. Be well.

Great use case! ChatGPT as a learning tool is currently my #1 priority, and your suggestions are going to really help me get moving on that. Thanks for doing the work!

Been struggling with C++ and programming, since 2000 and before, read books on my own over the years, did many tutorials, and finally something like ChatGPT helps me. I have waited for over 20 years for something that lets you tell it what you want, instead of painfully figuring it out and not able to retain or push yourself enough. I think some of us don't get programming as easy as others.

Took this vid and used a free tool to get a full transcription of it. Then took the text, pasted it into chatGPT and told it to break it down to it's main points. Gold.

As an extension to your suggestion of using the AI to generate summaries, I find it is really useful doing it the other way round as well. If you sit back and try to digest what it has said and map that into your own mental model you can then prompt it afterwards with something like "So, are you saying that it acts basically like a X and does Y for Z" and GPT-4 is very able to say either yes or no, and add a bit of extra information in a way that fits with the analogy/model you have constructed. Thank you for the video!

This idea is absolute genius. I get stuck in learning loops all the time too, and I have a hell of a case of ADHD, which makes scheduling my learning (or life for that matter) extremely difficult; this method is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m too poor to hire an assistant to schedule and research, but I can afford chatgpt lol Now if I can just remember to do this and not distracted by something else. Thank you for this gift.

Something I realized about chatgpt is when I asked it about things I wasn't knowledgeable about, it seemed to know a lot. But when I asked it about things I was very familiar with, it APPEARED knowledgeable, as in it gave detailed answers, but a lot of the info was totally wrong.

I just started exploring chat gpt myself and hadn't even thought to use it like this! It's such an amazing tool! Trying to learn coding so I can make my own games and animations so I'm glad a stumbled across your channel.

Thank you very much for this video Sister! May the possession of your wisdom continue to produce more of this valuable content.

i'm an enthusiast learner just like you and into many things at one time. was really losing mind in how to effectively schedule everything with my college entrances lining up and obviously was struggling really hard with what resources to use and how. this is such golden advice and thankyou so much for sharing it with us. ❤

Really good! I often ask ChatGPT a series of question after question, following a concept down into details until I really understand it all. I agree that it's wonderful to have someone I can ask infinite questions! It's like a lifelong dream come true, because I have so often asked more questions than people have been willing and able to answer.

I was exactly trying to simplify the way self education cirriculum and also the other shortcuts..This is very helpful! Thank you

The Feynman technique is actually about you explaining it to others, so I suggest to use it the other way round to how you suggested it: You explain to ChatGPT what you have understood and ask it if you got it right or not.

Thank you, Bri. Even though I have over 30 years of experience with AI, hearing a novice such as your self, explain things that I was doing, yet not sure of, helps me to learn and grow. Like you, I think that ChatGPT has great possibilities. Please, keep sharing.

I'm hobby mechanic and just started working on an old vehicle I bought as a project car. I've never worked on a rear wheel drive car before, but I used ChatGPT to walk me through inspecting the driveshaft and identifying the parts that needed to be replaced and worked on. As well as recommending and comparing different tires and shocks that met my specific criteria. I've used ChatGPT before for fun, but this is the first time I've found a practical purpose for it and I'm really impressed.

Thank you for this!! I'm about to start an IT course that I'm very nervous about because I struggle with maths and science, but this sounds like it can help me get through without feeling like an idiot!

Hey, i have also been using AI to learn new languages, I use the Duolingo syllabus, like the unit title, then ask chatgpt to generate a detailed cheat sheet based on the unit title, with the generated cheat sheet, I can ask it to make flashcards that I can export to anki and also grammar exercises. for code you can also ask chtgpt to generate for you exercises to practice specific niche topics, like for...loops in javascript, something I wasn't able to do without chatgpt. thanks Bri, love your channel.

This is actually really good. And you explained it so simply, and so humbly.

this is great! im glad i reached some of the conclusions you have independently. Another cool thing I do is I say "Im going to try to explain [concept] to you. Tell me if im right or wrong and where my explanation could improve" to test myself and chatGPT has been great here too.

Thank you for bringing to light! I used your prompts for a subject I'm interested in and added a few of my own I feel I need to share. -"Given that I have ADHD, would you change any of the above?" Given it's response about different learning styles I then prompted: -"I am a visual learner. Suggest additional learning resources (like videos, podcasts, interactive exercises) for the above topics that cater to my learning style." It then gave me a list of videos for each topic. I then asked: -"Are you aware of any youtube channels that I can use as additional resources for the above topics." It then gave me a list of youtube channels, broken down by topic! This AI is amazing.

One thing I want to add that goes along with asking it to take my learning style in mind. One thing I do with chatGPT is I ask it to take into account that I have ADHD. It seems to change the sentence structure subtly and organizes things a little different. I have an aspie friend try this and he said that it was helpful for him as well.

Good video Brii. I never thought of using psychology and ChatGPT to kick my learning into high gear. I will give a couple of your suggestions a go.

It has been amazing at cutting through all the noise and garbage for self learning. Plus the back and fourths you can engage in are priceless.

At the start of your video, you described why a good university program is helpful. We provide a set of topics and skills to learn. But just as importantly, good programs (emphasis on good program / good teaching) keeps the rubbish out of the program. In business education, there are a lot of myths that can be taught and frankly, are taught in some programs (often by consultants who are engaging but do not understand the problems with teaching things like 'authentic leadership' which is not a good theory and very impractical). What I worry about asking AI, is that it gives you a list of things to learn, but doesn't differentiate out the nonsense.

Your last tip is excellent; I do something similar all the time. I ask ChatGPT to play devil's advocate and debate me on a topic, including asking it to give me resources where I might find arguments against specific points I raise. It helps tremendously in researching ideas and developing reasoned opinions.

I followed your exact method to create a study plan for dosage calculations for my nursing program - thank you!

This is so fricken useful and influential I have been studying things for hours since watching this. This is now my third time watching this video to make sure I caught everything you taught me today and im probably going to use this skill for the rest of my life. Thank you. Subscribed!

This is one of the most helpful/useful videos that I have ever watched. I will refer to this very often when I want and am ready to learn something new. Thank you.

Whoa! I just tried the Socratic method prompt and it was phenomenal! I was able to not only explain my position well enough, ChatGPT also gave a nice summary that gave me a deeper understanding of the topic. This was my first attempt at it, and I am looking forward to not only learning different topics, but also learning more about myself! Thanks, Bri!

I really like the way in which you phrased your requests to ChatGPT. They sound natural, as if you were talking to a person.

Awesome delivery of info in under 8 minutes. Just what I have been looking for to complete my studies and innovations. Subscribed and supporting you from Lismore NSW Australia

I am truly grateful for this amazing video! The method you've explained is incredibly helpful, and your clear and concise instructions made it so easy to understand. You've done a fantastic job, and I appreciate your dedication to sharing your knowledge with us. Keep up the great work, and thank you so much! 🙏👏

Got to admit. This one of the best videos I’ve seen on UKposts. Thank you.

Your methods are almost exactly what I do, good video! Its great for code, "I have object a, its a child of object b, can you write code to make object a randomly move around the boundaries of object b, and not leave its boundaries" with code, even AI needs about 3 drafts before its perfect, and oddly enough, it makes the same mistakes I do, but is superior at troubleshooting until successful. It actually makes very human like, sloppy mistakes, but recognizes them quickly too.

I never really considered AI at all. Now I think I’ll visit the site & see if it can help me improve my studying of languages & offer me a study schedule next year when I have to take courses for work! Thanks for your tips! ❤

This is super helpful and hands-on. I moved to the U.S. 6 years ago and am not an (English) native speaker. This is so spot-on and easy to follow. Thanks, Bri!

This is, by far, the best explanation for a successful self- study program. Very grateful for you sharing your knowledge. 💯

The description of yourself at the beginning of your video describes me to the T! You even articulated your strengths weaknesses and goals in the same way that I would describe myself.

It’s honestly like asking a teacher when you need clarification. It’s insane how much it has improved my learning.

High-fives to all the lifelong learners here! So nice to meet you :) A bit of a heads-up to fellow learners. This from a legal website: "ChatGPT is subject to certain accuracy and bias risks. Like any other AI chatbot, ChatGPT can only generate text based on the data on which it was trained. This means that if the datasets ChatGPT is trained on contain errors, inaccuracies, or biases, these will be reflected in the ChatGPT’s responses and if the datasets ChatGPT is trained on do not contain sufficient resources, ChatGPT may produce a lucid and comprehendible answer, but one that is incorrect or incomplete. Due to the risk of inaccuracy, it raises concerns about ChatGPT’s potential to create misleading content which may have serious consequences, such as damaging reputations or spreading misleading information."

Girl!!! You are genius!! I have heard of all the things chatgpt could do but seeing how you use it just gave me thousand more ideas!!! Thanks!!

Amazing and intelligent way of constructing questions. Thank you, I learned a lot from this.

Animations look good in this simplistic format! Doesn’t take away the focus from what you’re saying. With practice drawing and getting a style that suits you, you’ll be just fine.

Very helpful video, Thanks 😀🙏🏻

thank you for this info/video... i have been failing successfully at self-learning for years! this is a game changer thank you

I think that many of us misuse AI while trying to get help from it, and instead just end up giving up on what we are trying to learn from it. I think that you have actually helped so many people with this method of how to learn from AI, and I would just like to say thank you.

I cannot thank you enough for the nuggets you dropped in this video, and for all effects and theories to apply to help improve learning that I had no idea of prior to your video. I'm extremely grateful God Bless you. Literally just Subscribed

This is so me and therefore extremely helpful. I've already been doing things like this with chatGPT, but explaining it like this will definitely boost my progress. I'm currently learning Slovenian (because why not, but also because I'll be traveling there this summer and my great grandparents were from Slovenia). Using your prompts is already giving me some great info and ideas for similar prompts. Also as someone with a degree in computer animation who now works as a programmer, best of luck in your journey!!

What a great channel to stumble upon! From one creator to another great work!

This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen on AI those far. Thank you very much for putting this together.

Really like your channel, especially how you cross apply learning philosophies and strategies . Going to incorporate your ideas into my quest to learn AI. Keep doing what you are doing!

Thank you for this video. I will definitely be using these techniques to enhance my learning as like yourself, I've tried to learn on my own a wide variety of subjects to no avail - I thought I just wasn't made to learn on my own. Having this feels like you have structure, guided figure to keep you on track.

This is amazing. I’ve been doing the same with ChatGPT but this video structures it so nicely! Thank you.

Thanks for the insightful, invigorating guidance, Bri. Continued success!

Brilliant information. An amazing set of tools I will start using today. This could change a lot of things for me. ❤️

I recently started dipping my toes into ChatGPT and immediately it became useful for my Jeep project. I have been restoring an old Jeep from the early 80s. I know nothing about cars or auto electronics, or at least I didn't, but ChatGPT has helped a ton!

This video gave me a somewhat related idea of using ChatGPT to create a weekly meal plan & shopping list. I do most of the cooking for my family and having something else think of what we're having for dinner every night sounds incredible lol

I think some payed platforms very useful, since everything is already set hierarchically and digested, it helps me a lot and I don’t waste time looking for What to learn next

Thanks! For your kind contributions of your learning. Really inspiring.

I like how although you can ask it for answers - you have utilized it for its core purpose !!! I am proud.

These are supposed to be the techniques professors and students use together to improve learning. it’s great to see them in action, without having to pay an overpriced tuition!

in brief: In this video, the creator shares their experience using AI, specifically ChatGPT, to aid in self-education. They discuss various techniques they've employed to improve their learning process: 1-Using the Pareto Principle to create focused learning plans. 2-Having ChatGPT create a study schedule based on their availability and learning goals. 3-Asking ChatGPT for learning resources tailored to their preferences and learning style. 4-Requesting project ideas from ChatGPT to engage in active learning. 5-Seeking clarification on concepts using the Feynman Technique, mental models, analogies, and visualization exercises. 6-Employing the Socratic method to improve critical thinking, logic, and reasoning skills. The creator encourages viewers to share their own AI-assisted learning techniques and invites them to join their Twitch streams, where they practice coding, game creation, and animation.

Hi Bri! 🎉 Thanks so much for this video. It’s clear, concise, easy to follow steps, and a great video to watch. Excellent material and explanation! I look for ways to better use ChatGPT and have been on many channels and yours is definitely one I subscribe to. Thanks!

Thank you so much. Made lots of notes. Always struggled to chart a path for self-learning.

Magic prompts👇 2:16 I want to learn how to code in python. Can you use the Pareto Principle, which identify the 20% of the topic that will yield 80% of the desired results, to create a focused learning plan for me? 2:55 Create a study schedule for all of the above in an appropriate amount of weeks. I can study for 2 hours every Tuesday and Thursday. Please include time for revision and testing. 3:34 Suggest me various learning resources (like books, videos, podcasts, interactive exercises) for the above topics that cater to different learning styles. 4:31 I am a beginner interested in learning how to create games in Unity. To do this I need to know how to code in C#. Can you give me some beginner project ideas I could work on to help strengthen my C# coding skills? 5:29 Explain [topic] to me in the simplest terms possible as if I were a complete beginner. 5:42: Create mental models or analogies to help me understand and remember if/else statements in Python. 5:51 Guide me through a visualization exercise to help me internalize the term opportunity cost and imagine myself successfully applying it to a real-life situation. 6:57 I want you to act as a Socrat and use the Socratic method to help me improve my critical thinking, logic, and reasoning skills. Your task is to ask open-ended questions to the statement I make and after I provide a response, give me constructive feedback to each response before you ask the next question.

Remember to specify your skill level. Then, different approaches for the topic willing to learn: - Pareto principle - Scheduling a learning program - Using interesting tools, resources and ways - Doing projects - Explaining the topic very simple - Analogies - Visualization - Socratic method

This is so awesome, Bri. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hello! I just followed you on Twitch, but you stream while I'm at work so hopefully I can catch you in the future! Thank you for this explanation, it will definitely help me plan and learn which is what I live to do also. I look forward to more videos and streams!!

Be VERY careful with method 5, ChatGPT can be wrong, with increasing probability as topics get more complex, but it is always confident. This can lead to misinformation fast. Always seek resources and think critically about its responses.

I feel like I didn’t have that many opportunities to get the best education that I could when I was younger and consequently I am not as far ahead in the things that I want to be in as an adult but I am teaching myself all of those things now and I love chat GPT because I feel like it has allowed me to overcome certain barriers because there are certain classes and courses that I could never afford but the fact that I can learn on my own and use AI to help me through it has enabled me to close the gap of where I am and where I need to be

Omg! Bri! You are an angel and have just helped me SOOO much!! Thank you so very much for your effort and energy! ❤

Sooooo goood! Never thought of having Chat apply the Perato principle. Thank you for the awesome idea!!! You are the Best!

Great video, one thing you should mention though is the ChatGPT caveat that whatever it tells you is suspect to verification which is good for self-learning anyway. ChatGPT is basically founded on the principle of keeping the chat going so it follows "if I know the answer I'll tell you if I don't I'll make it up" including URLs to non-existent websites, titles to non-existent books and non-existent authors.

Love the idea, but how do you execute on the schedule that ChatGPT makes for you? Can it export to your calendar? And is there a way to save the resources that it suggests to you or do you just take a screenshot and save that?

Brilliant! Thanks so much💛 I use AI with a topic I’m interested and begin with Question , after getting the info, I will ask for elaborated responses or ask further questions, and it becomes more conversational and I’m able to retain complex subjects.

This was the type of video that people should be looking into for learning the new ways of using CHATgpt. thank you for making this video.

ChatGPT is a great resource and teacher but self learning can be difficult to get motivated 😂

I have self followed a few different university tracks for various degrees, using the virtually free previous editions of textbooks. Although there are a ton of online learning tools these days, it is still an approach I recommend to people who are serious about being self taught.

This video was everything, definitely an infinity gem. I appreciate you bri🙏🏿

You literally and ACCURATELY DESCRIBE me. I also read Business, psychology change my iPhone battery, build something etc.

Thank you for using chatGBT constructively! I really only hear negative things about it in school because 1) people are generally afraid of AI (although I can’t say I’m fearless of it) and 2) people only use it to cheat out off essays and such * facepalm * Not only does this sound like a great method to self-study, but I can definitely see how this could be a useful way to narrow down research!

Bri, thank you so much for sharing all you do! But there is a slight problem to that usage of GPT: it lies, like, permanently. It confuses important pieces of information and it makes up sources. Maybe, just maybe, programming would be less affected by this because it is an AI model made by programmists for programmists. But in essence, GPT inserts 1-10 % of incorrect information into its answers that automatically makes all its answers invalid(

Thank you so much for this insightful video. I've always been an enthusiast in self-learning but I did have some obstacles I didn't know how to overcome. Nonetheless, you've covered the majority of them in this short video. I hope to see more insightful videos from you soon.
