GPT Tutor

[pseudo fable]

I'm trying to create an AI tutor that can teach me content from a textbook and ask me questions, keeping track of my misconceptions and using different research-based learning principles (e.g. active recall, spaced repetition, interleaving, different orders of learning).

I have a few main struggles

• I can't get it go through each point in the textbook properly. It also ends up hallucinating information from the textbook?
• I want it to identify key conceptual points as my courses are open book, so less emphasis on random information recall
• I want it to keep track of everything I've gotten wrong before and retest them using spaced repetition. I can't get it to systematically keep track of everything so things always go missing

I feel like NotebookLM does a better job at making sure al the points in the textbook are covered and giving references and not hallucinating etc but I don't think its suitable to act as a "tutor".

This is a great exercise. Unfortunately, your GPT trainer/tutor may not know what it doesn't know.

Interestingly, the mistakes you uncover are elements on which you can train the GPT Tutor. I've taken your comments above and asked ChatGPT directly what to do. Here is what we have:

Here is how CHATGPT has responded:

NOTE: I will be sharing 4 screen shots in total, featuring the response to the above query prompt:

Hopefully, this helps to demonstrate how you can repurpose ChatGPT to instruct you more purposefully.

You probably cannot reliably use manual prompts to digest/sort a whole book and keep track... you need to get OpenAI API key and use ChatGPT to write a python script to digest your PDF/book, and process each subject under direction of the LLM. Try adapting this Master Prompt.
