I use it for explaining stuff when studying for uni and I do it like this: If I don't understand e.g. a definition, I ask an LLM to explain it, read the original definition again and see if it makes sense.
This is an informal approach, but if the definition is sufficiently complex, false answers are unlikely to lead to an understanding. Not impossible ofc, so always be wary.
For context: I'm studying computer science, so lots of math and theoretical computer science.
