Announcement

The bot I announced in this thread is now ready for a limited beta release.

You can see an example summary it wrote here.

How to Use AutoTLDR

Just mention it ("@" + "AutoTLDR") in a comment or post, and it will generate a summary for you.
If mentioned in a comment, it will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, it will summarize the post itself.
If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, it will summarize the content at that link.
If there is no link, it will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.
🔒 If you include the #nobot hashtag in your profile, it will not summarize anything posted by you.

Beta limitations

The bot only works in the [email protected] community.
It is limited to 100 summaries per day.

How to try it

If you want to test the bot, write a long comment, or include a link in a comment in this thread, and then, in a reply comment, mention the bot.
Feel free to test it and try to break it in this thread. Please report any weird behavior you encounter in a PM to me (NOT the bot).
You can also use it for its designated purpose anywhere in the AUAI community.

You should make this run some local model instead of giving money to "Open"Ai

[–] sisyphean 1 points 1 year ago

I would be happy to, but all current local models are vastly inferior to GPT-3.5. The unfortunate reality is that if you want to create anything high quality, you must use the OpenAI API.
