I like reading old books, but I often struggle with them because of the archaic language they use. I thought that LLMs might be a way to improve this, so I started working on AItheneum. It's a library of classic philosophy books enhanced with LLMs.<p>So far it has three features:<p>- Reading level: It displays the original text alongside two simplified versions ("medium" and "easy" levels).<p>- Explain: Highlight a section of the text, and you can ask it to explain that extract for you.<p>- Search: Search for specific themes within the book (e.g., "religion," "purpose of life") and get relevant sections highlighted.<p>I've only added the First part of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and I'm working on adding more sections of it and more books. But I thought others might find it interesting as it is right now.<p>Some of the translations and explanations are not that accurate, and the search feature is a bit confusing. But I'm working on it, and I'd love to hear your feedback.
