Finally: the days where one has to read a book in one continious session are numbered. With this bookmark one can interrupt reading a book at any time. Also, the bookmark offers you an AI summary of the things that just have been read.

This is such an over-engineered and useless piece of ~~shit~~ tech - so ridiculous that this has to be satire. At least, this still seems to be a concept. Although the article has been posted in March 2025, I have not found any evidence that this is a joke, unfortunately. They seem to be serious with it.

Love this. I don't want to read books. I want to have read books. I heard that if you read a certain amount of books that when you die you get an achievement.

Been saying for years I wish I could spend less time lost in a good book and more time making my boss rich.

Despite Poe's law, I'm reasonably confident OP is in fact being sarcastic. But because of Poe's law, we'll probably never know for certain.

I mean, there are definitely some books I wish I could have read without having to suffer through the process of actually reading them. Looking at you, Three Body Problem.

But the last thing I want is an LLM giving me a badly mangled, partly invented Sunday of them.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
