This is what libraries should evolve into.
You know, I think we could try building libraries with a dedicated community server that has just enough LLM voodoo to summarize the books in stock for the public to get an idea of what's available
Maybe it's a huge overstep versus what we can already do with more "analog" technology, but I could see potential in this
Eh, if it ran on solar and all it was trained on was maybe the library's own database of book summaries or something, then why not? That could be cool.
