Totally not an OpenAI shill or anything, but based on your question and this specific type of QA stuff, here's my advice: spend the 20 bucks on ChatGPT Plus to get GPT-4 access - it is an invaluable learning tool for questions such as these.

For example, with your specific question: https://chat.openai.com/share/0d922193-b9b6-4d51-85e8-d31c05...

Zero-shot correct solution to the example query. Based on your question, you could even just say "Can you explain X based on Y info that I found in the docs without writing a solution" if you truly just want to learn about the topic. Then with some iterative refinement of the results over a few back and forths, you can learn about the concept without necessarily having it write the code for you. Cheers!

This is pretty good!

I've been trying to have the free GPT-3.5 explain me things, but the results were a bit mixed (I caught it making a few things up earlier). But I might give GPT-4 a try, thanks!

GPT-4 is significantly better than GPT-3.5-turbo. Do not use GPT-3.5-turbo outputs as your benchmark for the utility of the more advanced models! :) Especially when used for LLM Agents, or any kind of harder question.
