Great thread if you’ve ever been curious about indexes - at this week’s #MetaFutures conference
Indexes save the reader time and hassle
They provide access to information within book
Computer search is not the same – a computer doesn’t read like a human, and so it can’t index like one
AI problems: lead to ‘spicy autocomplete’ rather than deep, thoughtful reading #MetaFutures
