>ugh this book is too long>I'm just gonna ChatGPT itYep, I'm thinking BASED. You don't actually waste your time reading books anymore, do you? I get all the knowledge of any book within seconds thanks to AI. It's amazing. Imagine actually sitting down and reading Don Quixote or Thucydides or Kant in 2025. That's like getting your news today by a pigeon carrier.>"summarize this chapter for me"And just like that I learn as much as you (if not more) and I spend a fraction of the time learning it. Does that make you mad? Are you going to moralize and say that I don't actually learn anything? Lol, a sanctimonious book reader. Never heard that before!Knowledge is power, anons. And knowing how to use AI to make reading books obsolete is kino af. Alright, I'm off to "read" War and Peace, anons. Got to get it in before the night is over!
Sure, you get the same amount of "information" faster, and if that is the sole function of the book, sure, go for it. But with a work of literature one would like to think you are not merely there to accrue facts, but for artistic appreciation of the work itself, its tone, rhythm, scenes, dialogue, the distinct flavor of each author's writing, because you enjoy reading itself and are not merely trying to get it out of the way.
>>24820182Reallistically, what's wrong with doing something like this? I've read Don Quixote and Thucydides do I have to read Kant too?
>>24820397I can just ask ChatGPT to quote the best lines.
>spend weeks reading 900+ page book>think about it a month later>can't remember anyone but the main character's name>can't remember more than one or two events>can't remember one memorable line of prose>think of it a year later>can't remember if i actually even read itwhat is the fucking point
>>24820397>for artistic appreciationArt is dead, kiddo. AI has killed it. That's a good thing btw
Knowledge is fake and gay, you should aim for wisdom instead which only comes from understanding subtle nuances in experiences and recognizing what exactly resonates within you and why. Reading at length can help achieve this although largely it is an escape which is a useful part of life too, it's a far healthier means of escapism than doom scrolling or whatever else you probably use.
>>24820847What is wisdom?
>>24820850It's knowledge of things that don't change rather than specific details. It's very close to intelligence. Think of intelligence as a brain with a good structure that allows for fast and accurate traveling between nodes, think of knowledge as the total amount of nodes within a brain, think of wisdom as the possession of nodes that are most important to practically living and enacting your will on/within reality quality > quantity and the internal understanding of what nodes these are, like a well structured brain on a vertical level of prioritization whereas intelligence in it's raw form is more like a horizontally well structured brain and speed, wisdom is more about efficiency.
Awful thread.Instead of falling for the bait, tell me about your favourite coomer book
I know this is a shitpost thread but I tried really hard to become a cumbrain and I just can't. Trying to jack off all day makes me suffer more than just drinking or lying in bed. I don't know how people manage to like porn so much and be driven so much by it, even if everything has lost its appeal I . At some point I just start wishing I had a woman again and I wanna have real sex which is something I don't wanna put up with anymore.I just think I've lost the war against the world, there''s no other way left to fast forward through the days. I have never felt this trapped in my whole life. It's all shit, everywhere I look is fucking torture, the things people love are torture to me, I don't fucking know how i am supposed to go on and what to do and where to sink my time instead of just suffering. Suicide feels more and more appealing every day. I just wanna get off this nightmare ride. I hate this world so fucking much
>>24820409Assuming this isn't bait like OP, there are a lot of things wrongFirstly, literature is both knowledge and art. You must acquire both. If you only go for knowledge then your existence will be miserable. AI cannot showcase artSecondly, AI is not only consistently incredibly wrong, it cannot access the books themselves so it will create an abysmal combination of "facts" from opinion pieces and extracts found on Wikipedia and other popular sites on the net. And again, it can get this wrong too, because AI doesn't "think", it just generates data based on specific thingsThirdly, because AI only uses popular limited sites as its base, it doesn't know about 99% of literature as a whole. Recently I tried asking it about a book I found on the Internet Archive and it made up its author and contents because it didn't have any info on it because nobody on the popular net has ever really talked about it. Oh and also it's controlled by OpenAI which is biased politically so it may even limit your results or lie about the content to pursue a specific political ideology
>>24821007That's why you only use AI primarily for books available online. You can just paste the text directly into ChatGPT and ask for a summary or analysis or whatever. You can also take photos of pages of your physical book and upload it for the same effect. And if you're still not happy with a result you can use Grok to see what it says.Get better at AI'ing. There is no pride in spending vast amounts of time reading books that you barely comprehend.
Someone came to my book club recently who did this. Brought his laptop, had not read the bookbut instead a summary via ChatGPT. Lamented that the book we were reading was hard to feed into ChatGPT.He spent the entire meeting typing in other people's comments, then asking ChatGPT to come up with a statement for him to make, most of which were complete nonsense because he did not understand the book or discussion on any level. This shit is a nightmare.
>>24821238AI is not a nightmare, but the retard who shows up to a book club with a laptop is. I couldn't imagine doing something like that lol.
>>24820182I watched Neil de Grasse Tyson tikTok. Now I can do particle physics!
>>24820182The main reason I read is because I'm a NEET. The more time I can pass doing so the better for I have nothing else to do (except for playing video games).
>>24820182A tard who doesn’t read? This is unprecedented. It’s over.
>>24820182>Yep, I'm thinking BASEDNo, I'm thinking CRINGE. I don't care if this is a shitpost. You are a soulless bugman who only cares around efficiency and information at the expense of prose and expression. You are the reason why art is at a low point. You are a loathsome vermin. Oh, why didn't we listen to bloom?!
>>24821584*cares about
>>24820182You're getting an incestuous "wisdom of crowds" summary sourced from people that never read the books, people that used AI to write their posts, and the occasional AI hallucination. It will completely miss any themes that aren't surface level enough for a redditor to type out.
>>24820182I think it's BASED.I'm using AI to summarize your posts - BASED
>>24821584>>24822488>they look down on the AI usersWe really do need to round up all the "pure" book readers and launch them into space. People want to learn fast and you're bitching about souls. LOL!
>>24822534>no argument>obsessed with speed at the expense of deep comprehensionPoint proven. Bugmen are subhumans
>>24820416Sounds like you're too dumb for reading. Sorry
