AI versus Reading…

We review a book or paper summary to get the headlines. But, we didn’t actually read it. So, we miss information not included in the headlines that would have had meaning to us. Further, reviewing headlines only partially internalizes the intelligence. Thus, we are less likely to leverage it in our decision making (and thus it is less impactful).

Aren’t many of our use cases for AI essentially asking AI for a summary of summaries? For those use cases, wouldn’t AI be missing key points?

I would suggest that we should ask ourselves when using AI makes sense and when doing the work of reading, thinking, simplifying, and summarizing the headlines ourselves makes sense. What do you think?
