@CarolineBowen @BronwynHemsley @theconversationau My take is that AI is much better at generating text than at processing it--b/c different "skills" are involved. AI text generation can rely on statistics & pattern recognition. Text processing (summarizing, simplifying, copy-editing-- all of which are actually useful!), requires skills more akin to comprehension (word & sentence level semantics, sensory experience), & AI seems nowhere near able to scale what some call the "barrier of meaning."
