So, note-taking? I already use Google Keep as an extension of my long-term memory, for storing everything from book recommendations to birthdays. For short-term "volatile" memory, a pen and paper or a .txt on my computer works great.
In addition, I have hundreds of pages of typed notes in per-topic gdocs that I can refer to quite handily using Ctrl+F.
I actually wouldn't want GPT to summarize or reduce these notes for me because I would always doubt the accuracy, and reading the exact words that I've typed invokes much better contextual recall than reading a rephrasing. Also, usually when I can't find something immediately using Ctrl+F, it means it's time to reorganize and that grows the body of knowledge.
Not to mention, much of the good that comes from note-taking comes from the act of writing notes. Sending off large chunks of other people's text for an AI to summarize defeats this benefit.
GPT is impressive in some ways but such "pockets" of the GPT ecosystem are very reminiscent of web3/blockchain - forcing inferior solutions on already well-solved problems.
