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.

... and neither does the author (or so I believe - I made them both up).

On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.

I never walk away with an "answer" without having it:

  1. Cite the source
  2. Lookup the source
  3. Permlink you to the source page/line as available
  4. Critique the validity of the source.

After all that, still remain skeptical and take the discussion as a starting point to find your own primary sources.

That’s good. Ooh NotebookLM from Google just added in-line citations (per Hard Fork podcast). I think that’s the way: see what looks interesting (mentally trying not to take anything to heart) and click and read as usual.

BeyondPDF for Mac does something similar: semantic searches your document but simply returns likely matches, so it’s just better search for when you don’t remember specific words you read or want to find something without knowing the exact search criteria.
