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

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.
It is definitely possible, at least for videos that have a transcript. There are tools to download the transcript which can be fed into an LLM to be summarized.
I tried it here with excellent results: https://programming.dev/post/158037 - see the post description!

I used GPT-4 for this post, which is miles ahead of GPT-3.5, but it would be prohibitively expensive (for me) to use it for a publicly available bot. I also asked it to generate a longer summary with subheadings instead of a TLDR.
The real question is if it is legal to programmatically download video transcripts this way. But theoretically it is entire possible, even easy.
