Has anyone else noticed that GenAI gives you Google Maps-like zooming capabilities over long-form text like articles, blogs, books? Information zoom levels have always had to be implemented by hand. You can create an abridged edition of a book, which is like zooming out halfway-ish. Or you can get CliffsNotes or other summaries that are zoomed out, say, 90%. But it was always a ton of human labor, so most of the time, you just have the one zoom level, or a couple. With LLMs, it's now a continuum. You can "zoom out" to any level you like, by asking the LLM to summarize the text at that level. And you can also "zoom in" by having the LLM expand on some paragraph or concept that wasn't covered in enough detail in the original article. There are some commercial hardwired zoom levels available like @blinkist, and they're useful today. But with those, you're stuck with whatever they feel is the right level of detail, and you have to use the same skimming tactics with them too. I think at some point a tool will emerge that lets you dial the summarization ("zoom") level to whatever you want, for whatever you want to read, and then it's all just enhance, enhance, enhance. I mean, I'm kind of excited by the idea. I think I'll wind up (a) reading much more than ever before, and (b) wasting a lot less time skimming through weak ideas and bad writing. Thoughts?
