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.

if the lens you view novels through is art then this will upset you. If the lens you’re viewing them through is as information that is to be ingested, this will do just fine.

Books are allowed to be verbose and take risks in language, but I’d argue that in transferable information it’s inefficient.

I mean, that's kind of the whole problem. What is the point of ingesting The Great Gatsby if not for its artistry? It's fiction, what information do you get out of it?
