Oh wow, this is a great idea. Can I ask what your prompt looks like?

Me:

    Ok so I'm going on a walk. I'll dump a link to a Hacker News   
    discussion about an article. 
    You have to read the article and the discussion and walk me thru   
    all the interesting details, nugget by nugget, and move on when 
    I'm ready for the next piece.
ChatGPT Live:

    ok, Great show me the link, I'm waiting.
(I paste the link)

Me:

    Ok I pasted it. Now go.

For the Socratic quiz I say:

    I want to understand this more deeply. So instead of you just telling me
    everything, lay out the problem and a question for me to think about, and 
    I'll try to answer. Even if I answer wrong, you should resist giving me the
    answer, and instead keep digging with more questions, so that I eventually 
    arrive at the answer myself.
I also have a Socratic quiz skill that I wrote for using in Claude Code or Codex to understand implementations/architecture etc:

> You have to read the article

Nahh - pile in based on the title and what you assume the contents might be.

To each their own, but for me - that'd be a heavy cognitive load. I ask Claude or ChatGPT to summarize HN comments and the article and provide any takeaways or wisdom nuggets. That's it.

>letting the llm do it for you

there is a very good reason microsoft's ceo got repeatedly dunked on and it was because he literally couldn't stop babbling incoherently about having AI listen to things for him

i cannot imagine just sucking the joy out of life like this.

This may come as a surprise, but some people have to ingest large amounts of information for reasons other than producing joy.

what do you think will come of the people who have to ingest large amounts of information for reasons other than producing joy, if the AI is ingesting large amounts of information for them?

and anyway... the commenter is doing this for joy. so who, really, are you even talking about?

why be snarky? i agree, your AI is going to make the tedium in your job easier.

Probably nothing good, but that's not the complaint being leveled!

> and anyway... the commenter is doing this for joy. so who, really, are you even talking about?

I don't see evidence of that?

The limit of these things being at least partially due to the users’ imagination explains at least some of the terrible criticisms I see out there which do not stand up to scrutiny. Perfect example just now in the wild: https://x.com/peregrinepulp/status/2077839461749338560?s=46&...

anyway, your idea is sweet, likely because you are smart
