Exponential upskilling, a new approach to learning, uses large language models (LLMs) and strategic questioning to accelerate the learning process. This method encourages learners to ask open-ended questions, seek diverse perspectives, and embrace learning from the LLM's errors. By combining metacognition with effective prompting of LLMs, individuals can rapidly acquire new skills and knowledge. However, it's crucial to address potential ethical and psychological challenges, such as ensuring equitable access to technology and promoting balanced learning to avoid burnout.
