    Manually reading through is going to teach you more and give more context than a txt parser’s summary.

    Just use your brain and don’t outsource your thinking.

      Hah. Yeah, I’ll do that as soon as you invent a way to freeze time.

      For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure it’s less energy efficient to run a local open source LLM than to offload the task to a data center, but the flexibility and privacy are too big of a deal to ignore.

      In any case chatbots suck at finding accurate information reliably, but they are actually pretty good at reaching things you already know or can verify at a glance with suprisingly little information. The fact that a piece of tech is being misused often doesn’t mean it’s useless. This simplistic black-and-white stuff is so dumb and social media is so full of it. Speaking of often misused technology, I suppose.

      LMAO yea using an LLM to dig through things to find what I need faster so that I can read further on the non-summarized version for more depth is “outsourcing my thinking” 🙄
