-: Okay, gonna introduce to you
the explain it like I'm five concept.
This is something that comes from Reddit,
there's a really popular Reddit,
it's called Explain Like I'm Five, or ELI5,
and it actually works really well with prompting as well.
So if you have something that you don't really understand
and you ask GPT-4 to explain it like you're five,
it will try and break it down
into a pretty interesting summary.
This is something on quantum superposition,
this is a Wikipedia article,
and I'm just gonna paste this across,
so paste that in there and hit Submit,
and see what it comes up with.
And sometimes it doesn't quite get the wording,
so it's not exactly something
you could explain to a five-year-old,
but I think generally it takes the understanding
that you need it in simpler terms.
And here it's I think doing a good job,
so imagine you have a magic ball
that can't be red and blue at the same time, right?
And then it kind of talks
about basically quantum entanglement here.
And so you can see here that we ran out of tokens,
so you can either just say, you know,
continue here, and then you'll get some more,
continue writing it,
or you could run it again with a larger token length.
And this works really well for papers,
it works really well for industry jargon,
social media like pop culture type stuff.
It's a super useful technique.
You also don't have to say explain it like I'm five,
you could also, you know, say, explain like I'm a teenager,
explain like I'm a college graduate
and flex around with whatever it is
that you're trying to understand.
And often I find asking it to explain it to you
in different levels will help you understand
and piece together the fundamentals.
