How to Use AI for the Feynman Technique: Spotting Blindspots in 15 Minutes
The Feynman Technique involves explaining a complex topic in simple language to identify gaps in understanding. Using AI as an interactive student (e.g. prompting ChatGPT: 'Act as a 12-year-old and ask me challenging clarifying questions about my explanation') exposes superficial memorization in under 15 minutes.
Recognizing an answer choice is not the same as understanding the concept.
Use the AI Feynman Prompt: `<code>text "I am going to explain photosynthesis and the Calvin Cycle in simple terms. Point out every logical gap, over-simplification, or factual error in my reasoning." </code>` This active generation test proves whether you actually know the material before test day arrives.
