The author reflects on the drawbacks of directly using AI to summarize papers: while it quickly provides conclusions, it often fails to truly understand the reasoning process, leading to quick forgetting and inability to discuss in depth. Then, the author tries Paper2Gal, a tool that converts papers into visual novel format, guiding reading chapter by chapter rather than giving conclusions directly. The author finds this method, though more time-consuming, significantly improves understanding and memory of the paper's methodology.
