I know it's unethical and unfair, but I have to, I cannot do otherwise, study a very badly written and boring book. I turn to chat gpt to make notes and summary of the page by uploading photos of the text and asking to do a summary, organized and useful to study in view of a concourse.
Chat gpt (4) refusese to do so becaue it cannot read images and therefore gives vey unuseful advice to create a perfect summary. Is there any app, extension or software that could to this dumb slavish job? The book is written in Italian.

You would need OCR, optical character recognition, to extract the text in the image first before feeding it to chatGPT.

ChatGPT can only use text input, and it can only output text.

THanks for the info: is there any resource online?

[-] cloudless@feddit.uk 10 points 9 months ago

Can't you ask chatgpt for that?

[-] vanveen@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

iPhones can do it through the camera

Pro tip: type it into the chatbot by your own. Then write the summary from what you remeber from typing it in

is that a Joke? Subtle but I like it

[-] solitaire@infosec.pub 6 points 9 months ago

Is the book so obscure that you wouldn't be able to get a digital copy you could just paste into Chat GPT?

[-] vanveen@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

unfortunately yes, it is. I rather prefer to be kicked in the nuts than read the whole thing. Believe me.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I'm curious, what's the book?

[-] vanveen@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Oh man, you don't want to know: Manual for the Written Exam of the School concourse with Summary Sheets on Pedagogical, Psychopedagogical, and Didactic-Methodological Competences

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago

That sounds depressing.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Sounds... Riveting! What is the original title?

[-] vanveen@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I appreciate the irony ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ .
There you go: manuale per la provascritta del concorso scuola con schede di sintesi su competenze pedagogiche, psicopedagogiche e didattico metodologiche. Really, a digital copy doesn't exist.

You have my deepfelt sympathies

[-] vanveen@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

the title is a bad translation I did from Italian. If you are very very curious I can write down a list of book I desperately want to read but I can't because of this friggin' book

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I usually do the summary by myself and let the Chatbot boil it down further and further

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Chat gpt cannot do this for you. It won't report accurately and will make things up.

[-] Ziggurat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

It's not unethical nor unfair to use available tools. As you start noticing a LLM isn't (yet) a good tool at turning a course into a summary, and using a machine to do so isn't as efficient in learning as doing it yourself (well, on my time, kids would buy books summarazing a book, then learn by heart the typical essays. This is how you get good grades without understanding the book)

[-] vanveen@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

the subject is superboring, I need to study in a short time and I am not a schoolboy (unfortunately) anymore. I need to do it for a teaching recruitment competition. The book -- probably written by a bot -- is foul. I love study and I love reading, but this is a torture. I turned to technology to save some of this torture. That's all.
