alt Hacker NewsAh yes, take my single sentence, blow it up to 3 paragraphs with LLMs, and then the person reading it can have an LLM summarize it in a single sentence.
What the fuck are we even doing anymore?

He's describing a 4 step process:
1) >I simply run it through an LLM,
2) >paste the summary,
3) >and ask them "Is this an accurate summary?"
4) >and then I ask the for their original prompt.
Agreed that just step 1 or step 1 and 2 would be depressingly pointless, but step 3 and 4 make this the equivalent of sending someone a let-me-google-that-for-you kind of link, does it not?
Caught out like this I imagine many people will kind of get the fact that you'd rather have their direct inputs..
(Or just get mad at you, but that's fair I guess)
The thing is, eventually these products will be more integrated into business workflows and have access to all the context, so the three paragraph expansion probably will be a significant improvement upon the original input.
And either that person won't be employed anymore, of the thing they were asking for in the first place will be automated for them.
I've already got my agent building a dossier for everyone we interact with. I haven't started training it on their writing style so I can mirror back to them... yet.
I wonder if that even works. Kinda like when kids play telephone I think it’s unlikely the input and output sentences actually match.
