I mostly use it in fields where its claims are easily verifiable.

So then it's no different from reading a Wikipedia page about a topic? I mean, if you only use it to teach you stuff you can verify, then couldn't you skip one step in this process?

I learned Stochastic Differential Equations this way, for instance. I wasn't going to learn that so quickly from Wikipedia.

It's definitely more involved than the Wikipedia article. How do you confirm what it's saying is true?

I just keep asking it questions until I hit a level of detail I can verify with my own mathematical understanding.
