Re: Anki and GPT-3
#2this is really cool.
my first thoughts without thinking are:
1. how easy to set up ubuntu linux and using firefox lol. this is more on anki being somewhat frustrating sometimes.
2. i have tried using notes that i didn't make myself and there were pros and cons but bigger cons
3. that generated note didn't abide by the 20 rules which I find to be a pretty good guideline. that seems pretty fixable though!

#4i want this same thing for notion
Re: Anki and GPT-3
#5This is a great idea.
This is what note taking is lacking!
When you pile up 200 notes or 2.000 ... you can push them into GPT to generate anki cards so that you can remember and make sense of it all.

#7Very cool!
However, I often feel like the process of generating the question/answer necessary for the Anki card is an important part of the learning process because it forces you do deeply think about the material and reflect on it. So I think there is a trade-off involved

#8Wow this has given me so many ideas. I never even thought to have GPT make flash cards.

Absolutely you lose a lot of effectiveness when you automate card creation. But it's still better than thinking, "Oh, I should make a card about this so I don't forget this important thing..." and never doing it.
For me the biggest risk is being tempted to making way too many cards (because it's so fast and easy now!), end up with way too many reviews, and declaring Anki bankruptcy and uninstalling the app after a few months. I may done this more than once...

#10As a daily Anki user, I am highly skeptical of this idea.
The careful creation of new cards is one of the key parts in learning the material.
It promotes a critical thinking step where you have to distill the material down into small but important pieces and (if you want to do it well) forces you to evaluate if you have actually understood what you wrote down.
I suspect that forgoing this step will not lead to understanding, but to rote memorization of trivia. Which is fine if that's your goal, but it leaves most of the potential of spaced repetition on the table.
