Papers are a great example actually, because they're often written in intentionally obtuse prose with a lot of jargon that slow your ability to skim if you're not working directly in that field. This is one contributing factor to why research is so siloed. There's utility in summarizing away that obfuscation and getting to the point.
- christianqchung 2y agoAye, fair enough. Assuming summarization/shortening or whatever people call this stays the same level of quality, is there an expectation of more interdisciplinary research? I'm unsure about that.
- npunt 2y agoIt takes years for new technologies to propagate and impact industries in practice. Most of the enabling tech here is months old, and there's still tons of unaddressed markets and use cases. I have no idea if there's an expectation of interdisciplinary research but LLMs are well suited to breaking down barriers between different levels of understanding, so it follows. I'm part of a patient research group and we use it all the time to digest academic papers, test hypotheses, and bring forward more informed questions to researchers.
