How can I use AI to understand complex topics I don't understand?

Use the phrase ‘explain this to me like I’m 15 years old’ or even ‘like I’m 10 years old’ if you want it really simplified. This works brilliantly for taxes, financial market terms, science concepts, math, health topics, astronomy, computer science—anything technical. For example, if you hear terms on financial shows that you don’t understand, like ‘spread trade’ or ‘hedging,’ ask the AI to explain it at a level you can grasp. This approach makes complex subjects accessible instantly.
