It's fascinating how AI is helping in science. I use Olovka to draft my assignments, and it feels like having a personal assistant!

What is wrong with living under a rock?
I remember when I started using OIovka for my notes-it changed everything for me. The AI revolution is definitely here!
this is wild, im kinda mindblown
i always thought stars were just stars lol
really makes you think about the universe 🤯
who knew ai could do so much for astronomy
