Oh that would have been helpful!
Although I can summarize most of my school books in a few words: "This is crap"
LOL

Even though you can get a summary, it won't save you on the exams.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It could in some cases
Some of my professors were very lazy and the exams were pretty much a copy-paste from the book
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well if you are considering modified or copied versions of questions from the book then I can't complain.

Didn't need AI to get to that point. LOL

School textbooks are a scam! It's a rigged market there!

That's actually true! I work in that industry somewhat and I can tell I've seen a lot of shady stuff

Would it make more sense for textbooks to be made into NFTs? It could make the textbooks more affordable yet increase demand for the NFTs. The idea just occurred to me, so I have zero idea how this would work.

What version of the summary be for the book? Will we see the Cliffs Notes version, the Wikipedia version, the FUD version, the Afghanistan Papers version, the Mad Men version, or the anonymous sources version? The summary is only as good as the input used to provide it.

Yea.. they say in the article that it's still in the early stages and the results are not always very good, especially if the story is not exactly linear.
They also said they have no plans to make the code publicly available so I guess we'll have to wait and see what they use it for

This sounds as if it would be perfect for a dystopian society. Whichever dystopia you want to name, it will be perfect for it (except Fahrenheit 451, since that one features book burning).

Oh I don't believe I know that one! I'll have to look it up!
I kinda like fiction about dystopian societies

Fahrenheit 451 was written by Ray Bradbury. He wrote many books, but this is on of his more famous books. The title comes from that fact (as noted in the book) that books begin to burn at 451 degrees F. Fahrenheit 451 is on the same level as 1984 when it comes to importance.

Nice. Autoignition is a cool chemical concept that some people are not aware of
I've read 1984 and I love it but I didn't know Farenheit 451 so it's now on my reading list. According to my reading plan, I should get to it sometime in the next couple of months!

No autoignition-- it's not that cool. A team of "firemen" show up to some offending site to burn the offending content.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh I was talking about the name
That's the autoignition temperature of paper
But the story itself looks interesting as well. My kind of thing

Huxley - Brave New World. Recommended if you liked Orwell's 1984
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I haven't read Brave New World yet, but it is a classic on par with 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. From what I understand about Brave New World it looks as if we've been living in that type of world for a while and are transitioning into a 1984-type world. The party's over.

Why do I feel like people will exploit this to skew results in their point of view? It feels like its going to make people read less.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol, this would have surely spared us the time and money wasted on books of which lecturers never got to the end of it!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My thoughts exactly!

Weren't they called Cliff Notes when we were in school. Yeah they weren't electronic and you had to go through the hassle of holding a book instead of reading from a screen.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cliffs Notes along with Monarch Notes. Those were the big time-savers when we were in schools.
