It’s extremely helpful and allows you to refer back to anything you’ve missed or forgotten.

Leveraging AI

Recently, I had to be absent from school for an entire week. Normally, for me to best retain the information, I would jot down notes during discussion into my own personal note-taking application. However (especially considering the fact that I’m not in school), this process would be very time consuming to do asynchronously.

So, I had an idea: why not just submit the file to GPT, and allow it to create notes for me to study on?

By leveraging the capabilities of GPT-4 Vision, I could upload class slides directly to the AI, and it would analyze the content — thus creating comprehensive notes for me.
