News Summary - A world news community where articles come with AI summaries

Submitted ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨muntedcrocodile@hilariouschaos.com⁩ to ⁨newcommunities@lemmy.world⁩

Hey fellow Lemmings,

I run AI News Summary Bot, a project that brings you News summary! The bot is once again live on our community at !news_summary@hilariouschaos.com

This is just an update as its moved instance to hilariouschaos.com

The bot is still in its early stages, and I’m excited to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to improve it. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas. I’ve got some free time for development coming up so along with a backlog of features I would appreciate some suggestions in terms of where you would like to see that effort focused.

FAQ: Q: How do I avoid hallucinations? A: I don’t use a traditional GPT model its operating on text sections doing a semantic summarisation.

Q: What’s its accuracy? A: It has a >95% semantic accuracy.

Q: Why did it summarise 2 articles at once A: That’s a known issue with Euronews as a source in some cases I’ve tried to patch it in the past but its an intermittent issue so hard to debug.

Repository: If you’re interested in contributing or exploring the code behind the bot, you can find the repository at github.com/muntedcrocodile/ai_news_bot

Donations: If you’re interested in donating to allow me to spend more time developing please do: monero:8916FjDhEqXJqX9Koec9WaZ4QBQAa6sgW6XhQhXSjYWpQiWB42GsggEh73YAFGF86GU2gEE1TTRdWSspuMgpWGkiPHkgBTX

Stay informed, and let’s build this community together!

Uh oh. Someone doesn’t understand Lemmy’s hatred of AI!

Except for silly pictures and terrible mistakes. Keep sharing those.

  What I don’t understand is people need to hate it publicly and not simply just block it and move on With their life. Some people like it, some find it useful. I don’t see why everyone is so against letting people make that decision for themselves.

    Probably the same motivation as the need to promote it publicly and not alone bye oneself, wouldn’t you agree?

This continues to be a terrible idea. What you’ve built is an automated misinformation machine. You absolutely need to be fact checking every summary by hand, anything else is completely irresponsible no matter how good you claim your model is.

  The purpose of the lemmy community is the fact checking.

    No, you need to fact check information before spreading it. Once you’ve posted it it’s too late, people will have read it and some of those people may believe it and spread it further. You need to either read every summary yourself (or hire a team to do it) and take responsibility for any mistakes, or abandon the project. You don’t get to blame other people for not fact checking the junk you post online.

    This comment turns me off of the entire concept.
    
    It’s like announcing you’ve created a machine that can repurpose garbage and reduce waste going to the landfills, but it just spreads random garbage all over the neighborhood with the intent that the rest of us can dig through it and pull out anything that might be useful and discard the rest.
    
    It just creates much more work for everyone else with minimal positive results.

95% semantic accuracy

Hey, look, a 1/20 chance of being lies! And that’s on top of whatever inaccuracies are already baked into the article it’s summarizing! What if those articles already lead with AI summaries? It’s slop all the way down!

  Have u gone and read a couple of my summaries and a couple of the originals and compared? I think its pretty good.
  
  Also the 95% is the worse case the average case is significantly better.

    When I looked a couple of hours ago the first link’s summary was an enormous block of text with no formatting and the second was about 40 words summarised to 20.
