The more often you ‘ask ChatGPT the explain it to me’ the more often you’ll have to do that, instead of investing a few extra minutes, looking up some new terms, and expanding your vocabulary and reading comprehension - gains that you will take with you to everything you read subsequently.
There is some jargon and it’s not the simplest piece. But your complaints are more about your decreasing independence at reading texts. Use it or lose it
Well said. Part of the issue I’ve been noticing is because Google has fucked their search people I know who used to search for answers are more often using LLMs to search. They don’t try alternatives, they just give up doing any kind of searching for anything they might want to know.
It’s all part of the business model. The LLMs won’t be free forever. Build dependence on LLMs and destroy alternatives, to create future paying customers. Convenience is the trojan horse of all corporate tech these days. What tech bros want is for access to human knowledge to only be accessible through proprietary pay-for-access LLMs that they can manipulate (e.g., re-define all racism as anti-white racism)
I objected to “horribly written” but I 100% agree with “should be written more accessibly.” I’m going to drop the author a line, because this is important info for Canadians to know about, and as you say it should be more broadly accessible.
I see how residents-internists is confusing. The general work-study term “intern” isn’t used at all in medicine. Probably because it’s vague with respect to training (and thus responsibility) level. Trainee doctors go from “med students” (3-4 years) to “residents” (2-4 years) - and sometimes “fellow” (2-3 years) - before becoming a staff doctor. I’m not a doctor but I work with some

Yeah! Or just do what the rest of us do and go to the comments to have someone tell the answers to you!
Sure yes absolutely. But that doesn’t negate the obligation of the CBC to write more accessibly.
In this case what really threw me off is that “residents” are intern doctors and “internists” are permanent doctors.
