It makes a ton of sense. I've been doing my own custom version of this for the past year and it's a HUGE shift in studying efficiency.

- LLMs are getting better. That's a reality LLM haters need to contend with. The versions that didn't solve your one issue perfectly 2 years ago simply aren't in the rotation any longer. A major release with significant improvements is a nearly monthly occurrence. - I don't know how to convince anyone of this, but the hallucinations have literally zero impact. Not only are they rare and getting rarer, but because you can always spot a hallucination you learn to ignore them. - As someone who's a huge fan of flashcards, you're wrong that this is worse than making your own cards. Instead of spending hours and hours making cards, those hours are spent actively engaging with and absorbing more material.

I can't speak to OP's product, but with my system it's the closest thing I'm aware of to downloading information directly into the brain.

How would you know if you couldn't spot a hallucination?
Can you share more details about your setup, really interested in this kind of idea for some topics I'm studying right now.
