As someone who periodically listens to papers via text-to-speech, I was intrigued when I saw this link. I'm a little uncertain about the "AI simplification" - If I'm reading a paper I don't want to have the second guess everything I hear as to whether it completely misinterpreted, elided, or hallucinated a point.
Do you have any personal experience with the results?
They’re good at summarizing text convincingly if you didn’t read the original document, but GPT-4 still makes a ton of basic factual mistakes: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.13249
I think it will be several decades - maybe longer - before you can throw an arbitrary 20-page document into a computer program and get an accurate one-page summary. People need to take seriously that transformer LLMs don’t understand human language.
