Ask the small questions
An assistant never sighs. Ask why the sky is that colour at sunset, and then ask three follow-ups.
Ways to Use AI
Knowledge Explorers
Follow your curiosity as far as it goes, with someone patient to ask.
What tends to get in the way
- Questions that feel too small to bother anyone with
- Explanations pitched either far too simply or far too high
- Not knowing whether what you read is true
What actually helps
Set the level yourself
Say “explain it as you would to a curious adult who is not a scientist.” Then say “now go one level deeper.” Keep going until it is right.
Check before you believe
Use Perplexity when it matters — it shows its sources, and you can open them.
Step by step
- Go to perplexity.ai and ask your question.
- Read the answer, then look at the numbered sources beneath it.
- Open one and see whether it genuinely says what was claimed.
