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 https://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!

      So you want it to be everyone else’s job to fact check your bot for you? If you can’t be bothered to check your own bot, why should we take it seriously either?

      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.

      • Go find a summary that is incorrect and not blatantly obvious that it is an error.

        U gonna pay me to fact check? The Monero link is right there.

        BTW attitude like this makes me want to spend my time writing an ai bot to generate mass propaganda radicalising the masses on millions of puppet accounts that are indistinguishable from real people. But instead I make a tool that clearly states that it is ai and is completely foss and transparent. I like playing with ai and lemmy I write code using those 2 things for fun as a hobby hope I use that power for good. If my bot goes dark u will know why. You have been warned.

              I’m not paying for a service I don’t want just because it’s being run unsafely, that isn’t how anything works. If you can’t fact check you need to abandon the project because it is harmful, end of story. This is pretty clearly more of an edgy teen situation than a crazy techbro situation though, so good luck growing out of being an edgy teen, hopefully someday you’ll develop some empathy and make actually good software.

      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.
