Comment on Observe HN: ChatGPT Fills in My Memory

Comments

I actually find ChatGPT to be super helpful in preparing information for Anki decks, which are (via spaced repetition) really the gold standard in improving your memory and remembering things. Typical prompts include:

- Give me a brief glossary on X subject, formatted as a series of questions and short answers. Put the answer text inside brackets, {{c1::like this.}} (This is for Anki Cloze, or fill-in-the-blank, cards.)

- Generate 10 questions from this piece of text

- Give me a year-by-year timeline of events in X place from years Y to Z.

- Make a mnemonic song that explains how X works.

And so on.
