And at the end homie still has no idea which parts of the information came from real books and which was just a hallucination.

People like this don't care about the truth and just want signal shaped noise.

Does this dude still not understand that he has to read the information presented to him?

Books are where it's at!

Dang. They're publicly announcing that they're proud that they don't read.

We must be in a golden age for con-artists.

Easy marks are announcing themselves to the world.

The idea of spending two minutes to think of "precisely the information I need" is so funny. Like... Yeah dude. If I needed to know an exact piece of information, I could probably just search for it in the regular way. Reading a book, especially a nonfiction book, teaches you a lot about the subject and allows you to back up your answer and understand the context. Having an AI tell AI to compile information that an AI will then turn into a summary is fucking useless. Just search for it on the internet if you know the exact information you need. Not to mention that if there are that many layers of AI, it would be very difficult to separate the hallucinations from the 'good' information presented. But yeah homie you're an expert

The 58 minutes of coffee is necessary in preparation of the all-nighter that will follow once he realize that some of the information is hallucinated and he now needs to manually look at all the sources and check them

Who the fuck is reading a whole book in 2 hours??? Is this normal? Am I dumb? I feel very threatened

This dude is comparing needing a search engine to reading a book. Smh.

Not knowing how to read isn't the flex you think it is

this actually terrifies me.

School isn't supposed to be "won" it's supposed to teach you shit you'll need later in life. Getting stuff wrong is part of the learning process. If all students do anymore is type LLM prompts they are fucking themselves up in the future. And they are fucking up other people's future as well.

But honestly I could be completely wrong - LLM prompt writers may become a big salary job and actually knowing anything will be passe and not necessary. I just don't want to live in that world.

Sincerely

Grumpy old fuck

"Well structured query" is what got me.

If I read up on a subject for two hours, chances are I am going to learn things that have nothing to do with the original problem.

Okay, but what about the last 60 minutes? Is this not a side by side comparison?

"You study diligently, while I cheat and learn nothing" You're goddamned right we're not the same, and I hope I never slip to the level of quality this guy does. Chuds believing what this guy believes is job security for me.

Argues that the book summary is the book.

Bottom text.

The emperor's clothes are beautiful.

And the math skills of a kindergartener.

Then proceeds to think the AI hallucinations they've been spoonfed are facts.

Imagine believing using scuffed AI output for your work is a flex.

Perfectly good approach if you know the subject well enough to know that the information you think you need is really what you need.

But if you were using a book in that scenario you wouldn't open it to page 1 and spend 2 hours reading it. You would glance through the index or TOC to find the relevant section (or flip right to it because you're familiar with the book), then skim to what you need and read just that. You could also do this with an entirely unfamiliar book if you know the subject matter. I used to write my papers like that all the time. Either way, this approach could easily take less time than crafting a good prompt and tweaking it for a second or third run to make it work.

Since the AI search is being compared with reading an entire book, it seems reasonable to assume OP is talking about a different scenario where they don't know the subject well enough to use a simple search engine to simply look up a piece of information. They want to avoid learning the subject by having the AI teach them only the part they're guessing is relevant. This scenario is asking for AI hallucinations, omission of subtle but important details through oversummarizing, and general inaccuracy that OP will be oblivious to since they don't know the subject. OP might as well suggest browsing through memes.

You: Wastes 34 minutes of OpenAI's server time and 58 minutes of everyone's time because you don't already know something because you never acrually learned it

Me: Learned the thing properly so I don't have to spend any time doing that

We are not the same

(This is so much worse if they aren't just technical books...)

Bro needs 58 minutes to drink a cup of coffee.

This is written like one of his "agents" is also in charge of social media posts lol.

Sloppers gonna slop

For those of us new to whatever this is, I'm legitimately curious about what a "3-level summary" is.

Yeah nice, if your question is so straight-forward that it takes two minutes to think of what you need to know and the answer can be summarised.

However, I suspect that if somebody is reading an entire book, they might be looking for something a bit more nuanced.

Robolovers are such low hanging fruit but everybody loves a piñata.
