Abstracts can also be close to a full page long. While this doesn't have to be bad, it's usually more information you're looking for (especially if you were only going to read the abstract anyway).



I can skim several full pages in the time it takes just to send off the abstract and get the response back...


Can you skim several full pages minus one and read the abstract last? If it's not effort you have to expend, you've won.


then batch summarise your paper feed every morning


I would prefer to optimise things that actually take a lot of time. It often takes me just a few seconds to eliminate a paper as irrelevant to my search based on its abstract.

If I can't, I'm gonna have to skim the paper anyway. But even that could be pretty quick.

Quickly reading something to gauge relevance is something I can confidently say I do much faster than GPT can.

And I don't have a paper feed. I look up papers relevant to what I'm working on at the time.
