Because it would be faster is all. I can do it myself of course but if I can link an article and ask it to summarize, and it does a good job of it, great. It doesn’t need to be much, perhaps just extending beyond the headline a bit to provide a little more context. I can always add in my own as well.
It’s not like the output would be some kind of drastically different information that I would take and share without reading it. I’ve always tried to only share accurate and trusted sources for news, beit MSM or subject matter experts. A source is always included. Also, I generally try to share news without an opinion attached to it but sometimes that can help.
Maybe I can attach a poll to every single article that I create a blog post for, gathering thoughts? Some kind of added value beyond a link would be cool.
The whole point is to circumvent the stupid blocking of articles being shared directly. This should actually be a really good thing for me because I’ll be able to make some money from website ads too, but, I’ve always tried to provide the best experience possible when doing things online and having to share a middle-man approach to keep people informed sucks ass. I predict a lot of media websites will take a huge hit in traffic due to this, which means much less ad revenue. I have no idea why the government is doing this. Links to articles are not taking away anything imo. Services like Google AMP are different and those do take away from the articles, so maybe it’s for stuff like that?
Testing it out, here’s some examples,
I pasted in the link and said “please summarize this article up in a short paragraph”
“Taylor Swift has announced her upcoming tour this 2023 called “The Eras Tour” where she will perform her songs from past and present. The first leg of the tour has already been announced and it is described as “a journey through the musical eras of my career,” said Swift. However, Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver were conspicuously absent from the list”
“According to CTV News, Const. Elena Golysheva of the Edmonton Police Service who joined the “Freedom Convoy” in Coutts, Alta., has been allowed back with Edmonton police”
“According to CityNews Calgary, Dr. Esther Tailfeathers resigned from the Indigenous Wellness Core after a hiring decision involving former Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw”
“According to The Toronto Star, Canada’s federal environment and climate change ministry has stated that compostable bags “contaminate recycling streams; and they have not proven to perform better than conventional plastics when littered on land or in water”. The bags “remain a threat of harm to wildlife, are difficult to recycle and have available alternatives””
Results
The results are kinda disappointing but I might need to come up with a better query description. A couple of them were decent. All of them were accurate.
