Tried reading two books recently with o1: The Fierce Urgency of Now: Lyndon Johnson, Congress, and the Battle for the Great Society — impressed with how well it could summarize the salient points from the history without mentioning the book. Also asking it study questions (per Tyler Cowen) was useful immediately after reading to gauge comprehension. The Iliad (Lattimore translation) — amazing to use the voice feature while reading. For example all of the epithets and patronymics are immediately translated for you with context. Also you can ask it to recite the Ancient Greek for any of the translated English lines. It’s like reading with a Classics professors on-demand. Overall, incredible experience. A bit sad that I missed school years with this level of AI. Makes me excited for my kids. Bearish Wikipedia rabbit holes. Bullish AI conversational rabbit holes.

o1 Pro or other models work for this? Sounds fun

Related, as Wikipedia loses momentum what other curated and credible human generated source material for LLMs will replace it? Many foundational models were in part trained on Wikipedia https://warpcast.com/vinayvasanji.eth/0x50523ddf

How did you read books with o1? Have it beside you as you read the book? Ask it to read it to you? Feed in the text somehow?

and you had no concerns about hallucinations? I've seen summaries of articles where ChatGPT missed a few good points, which made me lose faith in trusting 2nd hand sources.

Also, same here, thinking about what it could mean for kids growing up with this makes me so optimistic. Bullish on a future where curiosity has a real-time assistant!
