A (generated) Picture is worth more than 1000 words

My speed for learning new things has dramatically increased when I have prompted my AI not just to explain technical concepts but to generate pictures that show how key components of a new technology are relating to each other.

In the following example, I wanted to know how seed phrases (crypto) relate to blockchain addresses and the bitcoins/UTXOs on them.

My prompt:

>"Generate a visual infographic that shows the relationship between: 1. SeedPhrase 2. Private Key 3. Public Key 4. BlockChain-Address 5. UXTO 6. Wallets 7. BIP39"

That generated the picture below.

I still had to wrap my head around this picture, and I have written a brief description to add some context to the picture, but my personal notes together with this generated picture are way more precise and consistent than what AIs would have delivered when just asking for explanations.

Key lesson learned:

AI can be very specific, precise, and way less blurry when being asked to VISUALIZE dependencies up-front than just explaining them. Explanations are sometimes far too blurry, repetitive, and seldom down to the point. Generated Visuals, however - for unknown reasons - seem less prone to such fuzziness.
