Comment I Use AI as a Better Form of Search (Score 1) 121

I've only used AI as a kind of super-search. If I have some code not working, I'll go to an AI with prompt "Write C++ code to do [whatever I'm trying to do] with [toolkit I'm using, specific classes, &c]." I don't think I've ever copy-and-pasted the results, but its good at finding missing initialization calls, and or calls that have to be made before changes is visualization packages &c. Those can be hard to eke out from documentation, or find in somebody else's project.

... peer-review will be done *after* publishing, with all article versions being available and linked together...

Another bit of added value is having all the versions of the paper out in the open. Future researches can see the effect of peer-review itself: what did the authors put in or leave out for approval?

The play was "R.U.R," which stood for "Rossum's Universal Robots." I read it decades ago, and if I remember correctly, although often portrays as mechanical in productions, in the text the robots are actually organic, more like the replicants in "Blade Runner." I welcome correction from anybody who knows more about the play or isn't too lazy to look it up.

If you already have the physical book, why would you want to suddenly jump to an audio version of it? ...

I've done it on occasion. I prefer reading to listening, but I've gotten behind on books I was reading for a book club, so I would listen to the audio-book during my commute and read when I was home. This service would've been pretty handy.

The book was in the public domain, and there was a LibriVox recording, so it didn't cost me anything. I'm pretty cheap, so I wouldn't pay a lot for it.
