It’s coming along nicely, I hope I’ll be able to release it in the next few days.

Screenshot:

How It Works:

I am a bot that generates summaries of Lemmy comments and posts.

  • Just mention me in a comment or post, and I will generate a summary for you.
  • If mentioned in a comment, I will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, I will summarize the post itself.
  • If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, I will summarize the content at that link.
  • If there is no link, I will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.

Extra Info in Comments:

Prompt Injection:

Of course it’s really easy (but mostly harmless) to break it using prompt injection:

It will only be available in communities that explicitly allow it. I hope it will be useful, I’m generally very satisfied with the quality of the summaries.

    Yeah, but if the thing is that I don’t want my content to be sent to an AI? Your idea is very cool, but be sure to implement a way to detect if the user that posted the comment/post doesn’t have a #nobot tag in its profile description.

    • This is an excellent idea, and I’m not sure why people downvoted you. The bot library I used doesn’t support requesting the user profile, but I’m sure it can be fetched directly from the API. I will look into implementing it!

      At this point you may as well not comment or post anything on the internet if you are worried about it, the horse has already left the gate…

        Just because some companies are abusive doesn’t mean you have to be too. Let’s try, at best, to respect the fundamentals.

          Ya fair enough, if it can be avoided by one person then sure why not, it’s kinda like climate change though, one person isn’t really doing anything when it comes to a global scale, it’s corporations and large industry that are the problems, same with AI anything corporate or government controlled, well once again it doesn’t matter they won’t respect that

          I’m a realist me posting this comment and basically anything I do on the internet, I see it as, it’s out there I can’t expect it to stay private, it sucks but that’s how it is

            yeah, though a better analogy would maybe be it’s all the people of the world working together to progress society so that we have the tools required to allow everyone to live fulfilling and comfortable lives but certain people in comfortable positions don’t care about the billions of people in poverty who would hugely benefit from access to advanced AI able to give medical advice, education, and lifestyle benefits so they obstinately try and stand in the way of progress refusing to help and selfishly guarding their worthless ‘intellectual property’ out of a weird sense of self-importance and greed.

            The in long run they’ll make no difference but it’s still distressing that they would act like this.

        Just because the theives have broken into your kitchen doesn’t mean you have to make them breakfast.

      I dont think its great to do this based on the user who posted it. Then the experience will be bad because the bot works for some posts but not for others, seemingly randomly. If anything it would be better to allow or disallow the bot on a per-community basis.

      If you create a post on a public facing website, you give up your right prevent the content from being sent to AI.

      Even if the tldr bot isn’t sending your content to AI, these AI models are ingesting everything on the internet.
