Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how we process information. The concept of cognitive load was first introduced by psychologist John Sweller in the 1980s. By reducing cognitive load, reading efficiency is dramatically enhanced. Modern AI systems can analyze text and determine the relative importance of different segments. Blurtext uses AI to highlight the most critical information on any webpage by blurring the secondary content. Research has consistently shown that reducing distractions can improve focus and retention of information. The field has seen tremendous growth since its inception in the 1950s. The "Essential" mode shows only the most critical information. With Blurtext, you can choose your desired level of content filtering. Filtering algorithms use transformer-based neural networks similar to those powering modern language models. Early computer scientists first theorized the capability, though recent advances in computational power eventually made it practical. The "Important" setting reveals additional context while still filtering secondary details.
