My car runs faster than any human. Therefore exercise is a waste of time.

I love this example.

Car (like humans) requires a lot of care and maintenance. You have to feed it (gas), park it, and jump through many legal hoops just to use it.

Walking is very often faster, and if not you can just fly or take a taxi.

I haven't read the study, but I wonder if one reason comprehension went down was because of over-reliance on AI among students.

Ai is around for a few years. This type of studies goes back decades.

Ah studies, those things nobody ever cares to reproduce.

At least you provided a source! Er… wait, you didn’t even tell us your laptop model, describe the paper other than in terms of token size, or where these well rested graduate students (read: unicorns) hide from the rest of the world.

Give it a bit more effort next time.

20k tokens is about 40 pages of text. Weekly i do about 1000x that. (I am very low lever user)

I really do not think there is a point to argue here.

Also why you have to be unicorn to comprehend 40 pages paper? I often do it with no sleep, while drunk. Hardly unicorn!

> I often do it with no sleep, while drunk. Hardly unicorn!

Yes, I can tell.
