Austin Campbell(@austincampbell):The author of this @axios piece should have to read Finnegan’s Wake with no guides or reference material, then get tested on it for a complete understanding of the text and its meaning. If they fail? Lifetime ban on writing. Alternately, don’t shame people for learning.

I don't like these condescending posts. This person is showing ambition—using AI to take on a task they otherwise wouldn't. That's empowering. Kudos to them. Also, this is how I read math books. We all have books that are hard for us.
