A little insane, but in a good way.
Thank you, that’s a reasonable suggestion, I added it to the comment template:
TL;DR: (AI-generated 🤖)
It doesn’t work yet, the screenshots are from a private test instance.
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.
