If 20 mins of informations can legitimately be condensed into 20 seconds, it sounds like the original wasn't worth reading in the first place. Could have skipped the llm entirely.
- bostik 2y agoI upvoted you, because I think you have a valid point. The tone is unnecessarily aggressive though. Effective and information-dense communication is really hard. That doesn't mean we should just accept the useless fluff surrounding the actual information and/or analysis. People could learn a lot from the Ignoble Prize ceremony's 24/7 presentation model. Sadly, it seems we are heading towards a future where you may need an LLM to distill the relevant information out of a sea of noise.
- mecsred 2y agoDidn't intend for it to be aggressive, just concise. Spare me from the llm please :)
- AYBABTME 2y agoThink of the summary of a zoom call. Or of a chapter that you're not sure if you care to read or not. Not all content is worth consuming, and not all content is dense.
- postalrat 2y agoIf I had a recording of the zoom call I could generate a summary on demand with better tools than were available at the time the zoom call was made.
- crazygringo 2y ago> it sounds like the original wasn't worth reading in the first place But if that's the only place that contained the information you needed, then you have no choice. There's a lot of material out there that is badly written, badly organized, badly presented. LLM's can be a godsend for extracting the information you actually need without wasting 20 minutes wading through the muck.
- mecsred 2y agoYeah I can see that use case, I just wouldn't trust an LLM to decide "is this worth reading". May as well flip a coin.
