Why not have the AI produce the five points? Seems silly to have an AI write an essay and derive the main points itself, except perhaps to differentiate from another AI, but isn’t this what seeds are for?

Because the AI can’t produce a novel insight (yet?). Those 5 bullets are the main points, AI can expand those into an essay. This idea comes from how you’d write any long essay, or a book. You start with an idea. Then you expand it into chapter/section titles. Then you expand into each of those into more sections. Then more. This gives you the full skeleton of what you’re trying to say and, really, already says the whole valuable part. Then you fill the rest with relatable anecdotes and other salad to make a meal and drive the point home. AI would be great at that part.

  I think this would be better, at least for now. But if the AI was trained on material that included the book and other writeups about the book, it might already have the answer.

    I mean the inverse of that. Writing a new book or essay that doesn’t exist yet :)
