Vitalik’s blogs & Bankless pods are too long. Can I actually learn Ethereum’s ‘big picture’ just from AI chatbots?

I'm trying to really get Ethereum—not just buy the coin, but understand the tech, the roadmap, and the vision.

But my god… I just don't have the patience.

Vitalik's blog posts are like philosophical essays. Bankless episodes are 2 hours long. The Ethereum Foundation (EF) blog posts about the roadmap (Merge, Surge, Scourge, etc.) are super dense. My brain just checks out.

Lately, I've just been asking ChatGPT/Gemini questions:

• "Explain 'The Merge' to me like I'm 10."
• "Why are gas fees so high and what's the point of Layer 2s?"
• "What did EIP-4844 (Deneb/Cancun) actually do? Give me the 3-sentence version."

It gives me simple, direct answers, and it's fast. But I'm worried I'm just getting the super dumbed-down, "ELI5" version and missing all the critical nuances. I'm afraid I'm not learning, I'm just getting quick facts.

I need a reality check from you guys:

1. Has anyone here truly understood the full Ethereum roadmap and philosophy (e.g., The Merge, PoS, Rollups, Danksharding) just by talking to an AI?
2. How do you get the AI to remember your "knowledge level"? I'm tired of re-explaining that it doesn't need to tell me what PoW is every single time.
3. Are there any "AI tutors" or knowledge graphs out there that are specifically trained on the Ethereum ecosystem and its roadmap, and can actually teach you the deep concepts?

Or do I just need to shut up and go read the 50-page EIP docs?
