Great article, Ben. I’ve (unknowingly) been applying parts Feynman technique to understand complex topics at my company. ChatGPT has been a great tool for getting explanations at different levels, almost Bill’s application but in reverse. I’ll typically start off with asking how it would explain X topic to a 7-year old using a story, a high school senior, a college graduate, and then a domain expert. From there I find I know enough to hold a conversation and sanity check learnings with actual domain experts.
Thanks for the comment, Dayne. It's cool how you've been unintentionally using the Feynman Technique at work. Your approach of getting explanations at different levels from ChatGPT is a smart way to understand complex topics.
