Lately I've been reading seminal papers in distributed systems, and it occurred to me that there is a niche for LLMs to "democratize" highly technical content.

Trying to understand those papers is a slog, but it doesn't need to be. For a casual reader, you could drop all the jargon and proofs. You could also rewrite the concepts in a less obscure and obtuse prose to make it more accessible, without dumbing down the content.

Essentially it's like having a tech writer/communicator in your browser.

I often wonder why academia loves obtuse prose; the only dialect I’ve seen equally enthusiastically adopted while being just as useless is Corpspeak.
