This is why the aitechbrodude will never understand opposition to AI. They don't understand anything of substance.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Oh? This was his first time on Twitter then? If so, the error is forgivable.
No, wait. It isn't. Reader's Digest has been doing "condensed books" in its magazines since the 1930s. People have been pitching things like Coles Notes since 1948 and Cliffs Notes since 1958. And even in the world of tech there's been Blinkist since 2013.
So expressing surprise to negative reactions to opining that LLMbeciles are "good" for summarizing complex novels given – checks notes – almost a century of people gleefully doing just that is either ignorance of staggering proportions or disingenuousness of even more staggering proportions.
This was pretty much a Schrodinger's Joke.
