Idk, I'm more optimistic than the author.

I'm currently using a LLM to rewrite a fitness book. It takes ~20 pages of rambling text by a professional coach // amateur writer and turns it into a crisp clear 4 pages of latex with informative diagrams, flow charts, color-coding, tables, etc. I sent it out to friends and they all love the new style. Even the ones who hate the gym.

My experience is LLMs can write very very well; we just have to care.

Hubert Humphrey (VP US) was asked how long it would take him to prepare a 15 minute talk: "one week". Asked how long to prepare a two hour talk? "I am ready right now".

Might I ask what LLM you use for it to do all of that, including the visuals, so neatly?

Gemini pro. The flow chart, color-coding, tables etc are just latex. The illustrations are picked off the web. I suspect I might have to hire a professional photographer eventually.

Thanks for replying so quickly! Just to clarify, what do you mean by latex?

So you don't use AI-generated illustrations. Those are real.

By latex he means LaTeX.
