As written recently in the excellent paper by Hornby, "Gadamer's Hermeneutics After ChatGPT" we are at the start of a process where the dialogical interactions between the reader, text and author will become radically altered

Hornby discusses how LLM models when deployed in chatbots or even agents can be thought of as large meta-texts rather than mega-texts per se. The future of literary engagement in an agentic world will be meta-textual - summaries often distilled into more concise summaries

The reader will now have the scope of their literary engagement shaped by various meta-texts offered by competing models - there will be Deepseek meta-texts about Nietzsche and Anthroopic, OpenAI and Alibaba ones.

Recent research of deploying LLMs in pedagogical settings have shown remarkable results particularly a small scale study done in Nigeria in an underprivileged setting. Meta-textual summaries seems to distill understanding?
