So many comments on this shovelling sh*t on OP...? I agree with the author entirely. In practically every field, the reason it's difficult to learn anything, starting with zero, is because you don't know what questions to ask. You need to find an in. ChatGPT is really good at this - the answers it gives provide an idea of what you don't know you don't know. Obviously, you then need to go verify the answers, but the difference is: now you know what the language you need to use to do so looks like.

PS you would also need to do this if you started with Wikipedia as well.
