True, but DRM free books in digital form have a lot more potential utility for non-genius types like myself. Just a good search engine over the text is a huge win before even considering the standard reader features like notes and book marks. With LLMs I can imagine testing my retention of a chapter by asking it where my recollection is wrong or short and having it cite paragraphs in support of its judgement. All of this progress is impeded by the big ebook sellers, but is or will be fulfilled by inde developers at least for those of us that can go to yandex, plug in a title and get a DRM free epub.
I don’t think that was his argument. It would be one thing if we reach a point where humans trust a higher AI intelligence to create/keep software systems predictably meeting requirements. We aren’t there yet. So, it’s important to make sure any AI code is reviewed and approved by humans.
