ChatGPT to promote culture? This is how the former Tesla director uses artificial intelligence as a book club

Artificial intelligence is already used for many things, and not only at a professional level (although the fear of many of losing their jobs exists, why deny it).

From asking for a recipe to writing a letter to Santa Claus with the little ones in the house, this technology has managed to sneak into the daily lives of many different users.

However, there is no shortage of those who have unusual occurrences, which soon become viral (or at least give people a lot to talk about) due to their point of originality and, at least to a certain extent, how strange they are. In this case, use ChatGPT as a kind of book club. And it was none other than a former director of Tesla who confessed it.

ChatGPT, an option as a reading club?

Andrej Karpathy is a former director of Tesla. But not just any one, but precisely in charge of everything that had to do with the company’s artificial intelligence. And it is clear that we already know the importance that this technology has always had for Elon Musk (it is only necessary to take a look at Grok’s latest controversies to realize this).

Well, it seems that after working with AI so much, Karpathy has developed some curious habits when it comes to interacting with it. For example, use chats like ChatGPT as a reading club. And we are not exaggerating one bit, since he himself has explained it in detail in his own profile on the social network X.

“One of my favorite applications of LLM is reading books together,” said the former head of Tesla. And the explanation he gives is very simple: “I want to ask questions or listen to discussions.” In fact, in his opinion, if someone designed a Kindle that had this artificial intelligence function, “it would be a great success,” he also says in his message.

In retrospect, it is impossible not to think about what a book club really does: share experiences with books. Does it make sense to do the same thing, only avoiding human contact and leaving the interaction in the hands of a machine? Maybe for some yes. Not to be missed, there are those who somehow come to fall in love with ChatGPT, as strange as it may sound.

The main problem with the AI ​​book club

However, Karpathy himself has recognized the main problem that, at least in his opinion, his particular reading club has in the company of artificial intelligence.

It is none other than, in many cases, the capabilities of Tools like ChatGPT are not capable of entering text the size of a book. Which for him is a problem.

When dealing with other people, one of the joys of sharing readings, it is possible to think that he will speak another day… If he does.
