You: take 2 hours to read 1 book. Me: take 2 minutes to think of precisely the information I need, write a well-structured query, tell my agent Al to distribute it to the 17 models I've selected to help me with research, who then traverse approximately 1 million books, extract 17 different versions of the information I'm looking for, which my overseer agent then reviews, eliminates duplicate points, highlights purely conflicting ones for my review, and creates a 3- level summary. And then I drink coffee for 58 minutes. We are not the same.

this actually terrifies me.

School isn't supposed to be "won" it's supposed to teach you shit you'll need later in life. Getting stuff wrong is part of the learning process. If all students do anymore is type LLM prompts they are fucking themselves up in the future. And they are fucking up other people's future as well.

But honestly I could be completely wrong - LLM prompt writers may become a big salary job and actually knowing anything will be passe and not necessary. I just don't want to live in that world.

Sincerely

Grumpy old fuck

    Back in my school days we just copy assignments from a web that hosted usual school assignments from different places. "ElRinconDelVago" was called.

    Teachers even had "ElRicon" detection mechanisms as they have now with LLMs.

    Students always find the way to be lazy and cheese their way over homework.
