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

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.

    Many popular third-party Reddit apps will be shutting down on Friday because of the platform’s forthcoming paid API, and fans of the apps are sending them off with heartfelt posts and memes. The Apollo for Reddit subreddit, for example, is filled with posts celebrating the app. “So long and thanks for everything,” said one post for an Apollo-themed version of the “was I a good boy” meme. This morning, someone posted a “Dawn of the Final Day” image. Even Carrot Weather seems to be mourning Apollo. Seriously, just scroll through them all.

    Communities for other apps are memorializing, too. “Time to go touch some grass instead.” A post in the Sync for Reddit community titled “Goodnight Sweet Sync” has more than 100 comments. “Thank you for being my most used app for nearly a decade,” said a user on the BaconReader subreddit. And even though the reddit is fun for Reddit (RIF) community has been in a restricted mode for nearly three weeks, the posts you can see are nearly all tributes to the app. [F]or fans of apps like Apollo, RIF, Boost, and more, there’s only a few more hours until the apps shut down for good. At least we’ll have the memes.

      TL;DR: (AI-generated 🤖)

      The bot AutoTLDR is now ready for a limited beta release. It can generate summaries when mentioned in a comment or post. 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. Including the #nobot hashtag in your profile will prevent the bot from summarizing anything posted by you. The bot only works in the programming.dev community and is limited to 100 summaries per day. To test the bot, write a long comment or include a link in a comment in the designated thread and mention the bot in a reply comment. Users are encouraged to test it and report any issues to the creator. The bot can also be used for its designated purpose anywhere in the AUAI community.

      Under the Hood
      • This is a text post, so I summarized its body.
      • My maximum input length is set to 12000 characters. The text was short enough, so I did not truncate it.
      • I used the gpt-3.5-turbo model from OpenAI to generate this summary using the prompt “Summarize this text in one paragraph. Include all important points.”
      • I can only generate 100 summaries per day. This was number 2.

      • 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.
