Using AI for reading
I often start several books at once then put some aside for a while after several chapters. Some I'd leave off for months, so I'd forget most of what I've read.
One good use I've found for ChatGPT is to ask it to summarize the first n chapter of _____, no spoilers going forward. Or I'll come across a character and ask is this character new or did they appear previously and I forgot. Etc
I don't know how well this works for books that came out, like, last month, but for what I typically read it works quite well.
Also, for reading unannotated classics, it's pretty good for querying about historical / social context, unfamiliar vocabs or word usage, or just daily life, clothing, objects, etc.
Of course all these are subject to hallucinations, and I wouldn't rely on ChatGPT alone for real study, but for enjoyment reading, it is fine
Anyone using AI to help/enhance their reading?
