I’m having very mixed feelings about it. I’m using o3 to help me parse and understand a book about statistics and ML, it’s very dense in math.

On one hand the answers became a lot more comprehensive and deep. It’s now able to give me very advanced explanations.

On the other hand, it started overloading the answers with information. Entire concepts became single sentence summaries. Complex topics and theorems became acronyms. In a way I’m feeling overwhelmed by the information it’s now throwing at me. I can’t tell if it’s actually smarter or just too complicated for me to understand.

Pretty wild that we’re at the point that the human is the limitation

  • Surprise, the machine that interpolates from a database of maths books confuses a human who wants to learn about the contents of the books in that database.
