FAQ
Does the AI's 20% core knowledge really cover 80% of scenarios?
Roughly accurate, but "core" depends on the AI's training data emphasis. For obscure disciplines, also ask 3-5 field experts (Douban, Reddit discussions) for their core points and compare with the AI version. The intersection is the truly reliable core.
Can I use it to quickly get into a new field?
Great for the first week. Take the AI's core list, spend 1-2 hours expanding each, and in a week you've built basic understanding. After that read systematic textbooks. The AI's "80% coverage" falls far short for solving real problems.
How do I use this prompt?
