Using LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini) has transformed my life in many ways, but the biggest one is simple: I can now consume and understand information dramatically faster.
What used to take me days to read, map out, and really understand, I can now digest in hours.
That applies to all kinds of things in my personal life and in my work at
@AureoBitcoin, but especially when trying to understand:
- how software works, including specific codebases and files
- what laws, contracts, and legal documents actually mean
- how complex systems work in general, from mechanical engineering to health sciences
I think most people still underuse AI as a learning tool. And some make the opposite mistake: they outsource their thinking to it.
I have never learned so much, so quickly, while also reflecting so deeply on things.
There may be no better way to become competent in a topic than to go back and forth with an LLM: read the full answer carefully, think through it, ask dozens of follow-up questions, challenge the weak points, and repeat that cycle 15 or 20 times over a few hours.
The magic is using AI to think more, faster, and better.
