As Uri was driving, I got the ChatGPT app to read out each summary. This continued with subsequent points, with me prompting ChatGPT with "OK, next point", it inventing some stuff that sounded about right, Uri and me discussing the output, and so on.

Should Uri still read the book? Probably. Reading well-written books helps lessons sink in better than listening to made up summaries. That said, the summaries did provide a good overview of the book topics, and they were educational.
