Everybody had their fun mocking this dumb AI shill already, but that won’t stop me:

First off, if mr Future here is drinking coffee for 58 minutes, what’s he doing that other hour? Pissing it all out again?
Second, what kind of (I assume) work related book that you need this complicated AI setup for to get summarised will only take two hours to read anyway?
Third, the weird exactness of “the 17 models I’ve selected”. Why seventeen? Why not sixteen, or eighteen? Why mention a million books too? Just the first random Big Number that popped in his head? Bad enough having seventeen different AIs to summarise a book, but having a separate agent then collating this “raw output” and summarise it even further is begging for errors.

It all sounds very cool and ccyberpunky, something you could’ve read in a late eighties hack sf novel ripping of Gibson or Sterling, but in real life it all sounds a lot like using the fairies to ask Mothra for help. All it does is make it clear you don’t want to do your job, which lords know I can sympathise with, but also that you don’t know how to do your job, if you think reading a summary of a book is the same thing as reading the book itself. What makes you think you can judge what the AI regurgitates for you if you’re too lazy to do the work yourself?

Talking to a friend and realising that they’re using LLMs as a therapist (don’t), or as a friend (don’t), or that they think it will generate something novel and creative (it won’t), or that they think that it’s going to give them an accurate summary of anything (nope, it’ll just make stuff up).
I feel slightly like I’m going insane listening to some folks.
