A — Yes, reading something restated in different words always helps me.
B — It might help me get a better understanding, but only if it actually qualifies as a summary (i.e. highlights main takeaways and is significantly shorter than the main text).
C — No, doesn't help at all.
D — Something else (add comment).Boosts for reach appreciated!

@xahteiwi It only helps of the rephrased version is the notes that I make while reading. Then it helps a lot.

@xahteiwi If I understand your question correctly, the rephrased version is offered at the same time as the original text?
When I read a text to learn a new thing, I take notes, highlight parts, write comments next to it and thus create my own personal summary.
That summary is then indeed incredibly helpful.

@xahteiwi If I don’t get it, usually some context is missing for me. That is why using AI to explain things based on the original docs helps me a lot: my question guides it to find the context/ connection I am missing. A different phrasing just bores me.
