I wonder if there is some way to have an AI help humans improve their "reading comprehension" aka reasoning across a large body of text. As far as I can tell the only way to do this is to cut out mindless scrolling and force yourself to read a lot of books in the hopes that this skill might be improved.
I am many years out of my grade school years where I was required to read a multitude of novels every year and I guess years of mindless reddit scrolling + focusing on nothing but mathematics and the sciences in college have taken their toll: I read long articles or books but completely miss the deeper meaning.
As an example: my nerd like obsession with random topics of the decade before I was born (until I get bored) caused me to read numerous articles and all of Wikipedia + sources on the RBMK reactors and Chernobyl nuclear accident as well as the stories of the people involved.
But it wasn't until I sat down and watched that famous HBO mini seres that I finally connected the dots of how the lies and secretive nature of the soviet system led to the design flaws in the reactor, and the subsequent suicide of Valery Legasov helped finally expose them to the world where they could no longer be hidden.
Its like I knew of all these events and people separately but could not connect them together to form a deep realization and when I saw it acted out on screen it all finally hit me like a ton of bricks. How had I not seen it?
Hoping one day AI can just scan my existing brain structure and recommend activities to change the neuronal makeup to what I want it to be. Or even better since im a lazy developer, it should just do it for me.
