You can use LLMs to break down concepts in various ways. If there’s a difficult concept you’re trying to understand, we suggest you try asking an LLM to do one or more of the following things:
Define the Concept: Start by asking the LLM to provide a clear and concise definition of the concept. This sets a foundation for further exploration.
Explain Key Components: Request the LLM to identify and explain the main components or aspects of the concept. This helps in understanding the different elements that make up the concept.
Provide Examples: Ask for examples to illustrate the concept in practice. Examples can make abstract ideas more concrete and understandable.
Discuss Applications: Inquire about the practical applications or implications of the concept. This shows how the concept is used in real-world scenarios.
Compare and Contrast: Request comparisons with related concepts to understand differences and similarities. This helps in placing the concept within a broader context.
Here’s an example:
And remember that you can always ask follow-up questions, clarifying anything you don’t understand about the LLM’s first answer!

If you have suggestions for additional uses of LLMs, we'd love you to send them to us (including an example prompt) at info@clearerthinking.org. If we like them, we may add them to our library and credit you where they appear.
