I really like using LLMs to learn stuff because they can explain anything at the exact level I need. Hallucination is a big problem with that and RAG pretty much solves it. If I give chatGPT a good stackoverflow post and tell it to dumb it down for me, it does very well. RAG just automates that process with the added benefit of not letting the LLM decide which information to retrieve, which should greatly reduce the chance of accidentally biasing the model with your prompt.
