try curating the hacker news commentary when there are 800+ texts. no, really, what the hell are you talking about? having someone figure the insights that are relevant to oneself, among 800 texts, DOES solve a problem, which otherwise is unsolved unless you do it manually. which, the manual thing, as we all know, does not necessarily result in significantly better insights.

and yes, my job is to read technical slop dusk till dawn, and I care very little who wrote it, but whether it is relevant to my research. its a lot of reading, it causes me pain, so OF COURSE I would love to short cut it somehow, given most of it is slop anyway - no matter if its human or synthetic slop.
