I did 98,000 Anki reviews. Anki is already dead


what 98,000 flashcard reviews and japanese taught me about learning with llms

Learning how to leverage a tool like Anki helped me advance quickly, but the effort required to source sentences, craft cards, and get through reviews drained some of the fun out of the process. LLMs with speech capabilities can speak to you, and generate sentences around realistic scenarios, creating content that uses additional layers to make the experience a bit stickier. I expect that in the short-term at least, the best educational tools will be designed by domain experts and rely on extremely relevant data included using techniques such as RAG, RL, or prompt engineering to achieve really low hallucination rates.
