Key Points
- LLM has attained generative capabilities similar to human discourse and can effectively summarize documents and extract information from texts.
- The development of R.A.G. systems will soon make these systems capable to browse databases such as MEDLINE and extract knowledge, creating summaries of the literature.
- These summaries may soon reach a point where they are equivalent to current reviews of the literature, possibly making them irrelevant.
- The availability of automated summaries of the literature may raise the bar of what is still worth publishing.
- Literature reviews may have to capitalize on human imagination, creativity and abstraction capabilities to survive the A.I. revolution.
