What kind of magic is going on here, am I missing something?

I suspect the intention is to give specific but dense notes with minimal explanation, on the theory that the LLM will fill in the appropriate hand-holding along the way

Hi, author here- I intended it to be hands-free so you can upload to ChatGPT/Claude and talk to it. I found it easier to follow the protocol each time by talking to AI rather than having to read from the computer every time I had to check something, reducing context-switching

You can still read it, though it is pretty dense

But where does AR fit in? Doesn't this just need voice mode?

Funny, I was really impressed with how concise and goal oriented the directions are!

I would have done better in uni if the lab manuals were written like this

If you wanna take it a step further you can just embed a chat/llm icon at the start of your article, give it a header like "summarize this article using:", that leads to this query:

> https://chatgpt.com/?q=summarize%20this%20article%20for%20me...

You make one for claude, perplexity etc.

The AR angle tho, still lost on me, maybe i'm missing something...

I feel it's actually kind of smart. Most people won't be reading the blog post themselves, they'd ask GPT to understand the text and fetch the summary or whatever is relevant to them. The author has directly made the resource such that it is optimised for the output after that mostly-everyone-would-do-this step.

What a sad reality we live in. Or to quote C3PO from Star Wars 2... "Machines building machines. How perverse.".
