One pattern I like to use is to learn about a topic for myself and then, if there are areas of possible confusion, explain my understanding to ChatGPT and ask if it's correct. This produces different results from just asking about the topic itself. When ChatGPT says that you answered the question correctly, you know you've got it. Sometimes I'll get answers like, "Almost except this one part you're describing incorrectly," which is very helpful. It's a true test of your own knowledge to ensure that you can explain it to someone else correctly, even if that someone is an LLM.
