ELI5: Why are whisks better at stirring than spoons?
gpt
One of the primary uses of whisks is not to stir but to incorporate air in the mixture. The smaller diameter of the whisk allows more bubbles to form in the mixture. 

Another benefit of using whisks is that it is less likely to splash the contents out of the container. This is easily demonstrated - try beating a few eggs with a spoon vs a fork vs a whisk. The spoon would have to be moved rather slowly to avoid splashing and would not incorporate air into the egg.
