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

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

Also who can read a book in 2 hours and actually understand it.

[-] adhdplantdev@lemm.ee 40 points 1 month ago

Depends on the book and depends on the subject.

Some people are able to Crush sizable books in a few hours

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Some books are pretty short, and some people are quick readers.

He has to read it, but he doesn't have to interpret it. It's like the mental equivalent of those floating chairs from Wall-E

[-] mmddmm@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Well, it would be, if the chairs actually didn't move from one place to another.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

throw an AI Speech Assistant into the mix.

But nobody can help them to understand what was presented. For that they lack a brain.

[-] 0ndead@infosec.pub 7 points 1 month ago

He clearly does not

[-] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 57 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Books are where it's at!

[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 54 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Worse, they're glorifying the loss of critical thinking and analytical skill that would've been gained from reading. They aren't just becoming perfect con marks, they're loudly, and PROUDLY crippling themselves intellectually in an effort to appear "cool" today.

They're literally wagering their own intellectual future against the hope that what effectively amounts to a drugged-up version of Clippy will, against all common sense, decency, and economic theory, become so mainstream and ubiquitous that Humanity as a whole ends up relying on them for everything.

It's complete and utter madness.

"Give me a 3 tier summary of 1984"

"Sure! 1984 is a happy story about American glory. The main themes are having a lot of children, loving our almighty Lord, and family values. Would you like more information on which vaccines to avoid?"

[-] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 month ago

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 1 month ago

He's not going to realize anything ever again, these are the people who are outsourcing their thoughts to a chatbot.

[-] dipcart@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

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

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

especially a nonfiction book

I'd argue this is at least as relevant for fiction books. Most books that are considered "good" or "masterpieces" haven't earned that from the story but from how it is told, from the language used, the writing style, how a greater picture is painted. Any German student who had to go through the pains of reading a Thomas Mann novel will know what I am talking about, that dude could have written a 150 page book with 90 sentences. Of course you can read an analysis of symbolism and style characteristics used and the plot summary, but it isn't the same as reading the novel, as the story will not grasp you in the same way. It's not about the content, it's about its presentation. (In the case of Thomas Mann the pain is a vital part of the presentation.)

[-] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 43 points 1 month ago

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

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Who the fuck drinks coffee for 58 minutes?

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 9 points 1 month ago

I have a double-walled cafetiere and a double-walled mug that combine to make a very pleasant slow coffee experience

[-] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

Till that “cafetière” is another word for French Press.

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

[-] Asetru@feddit.org 20 points 1 month ago

If only they were using search engines. Instead, they're using algorithms that learned in which order humans like to see alphabetic characters in response to some input alphabetic characters.

[-] _AutumnMoon_ 37 points 1 month ago

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

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was jealous they read it in 2 hours. I'd spend 2 hours a night for a week to finish most books I enjoy reading.

Number of times I re-read the same paragraph because I got distracted worrying about bills - 7. That's usually when I have to give up reading for the night when I finish that chapter.

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

Is there a non-religious version of the Amish or something? That lifestyle seems more and more appealing,. This AI stuff really isn't leading anywhere good.

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

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 23 points 1 month ago

The AI told them that 2 minutes + 58 minutes > 2 hours, and apparently they believed it (perhaps bc 60 really is a higher number than 2?🤪).

"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.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Argues that the book summary is the book.

Bottom text.

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

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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...)

[-] ZMoney@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] fodor@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

It is interesting how people think that they know exactly what they're going to write before they even start. Of course, most professional writers will tell you otherwise. You have to put the words on paper to see how they fit and to see if you're happy with them.
