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

Screenshot:

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.

    Yeah, but if the thing is that I don’t want my content to be sent to an AI? Your idea is very cool, but be sure to implement a way to detect if the user that posted the comment/post doesn’t have a #nobot tag in its profile description.

      At this point you may as well not comment or post anything on the internet if you are worried about it, the horse has already left the gate…

        Just because the theives have broken into your kitchen doesn’t mean you have to make them breakfast.

        Just because some companies are abusive doesn’t mean you have to be too. Let’s try, at best, to respect the fundamentals.

    • This is an excellent idea, and I’m not sure why people downvoted you. The bot library I used doesn’t support requesting the user profile, but I’m sure it can be fetched directly from the API. I will look into implementing it!

        Thanks, it’s a good thing the creator isn’t as uptight as the comments.

        What library did you use?

        • I implemented it. The feature will be available right from the start. The bot will reply this if the user has disabled it:

          🔒 The author of this post or comment has the #nobot hashtag in their profile. Out of respect for their privacy settings, I am unable to summarize their posts or comments.

      If you create a post on a public facing website, you give up your right prevent the content from being sent to AI.

      Even if the tldr bot isn’t sending your content to AI, these AI models are ingesting everything on the internet.

        No. Intellectual property. And that’s why licenses exist.

        And btw, I publish on my own server, my property, so if I don’t want and state that an AI scans its content, in an automated way, it simply doesn’t have the right.

          That’s an easy thing to figure out when you created both the comment and the server hosting it, but what if I’m posting content to your server. Who is the owner and who has the right to say what can and cannot be done with the content? I can ask the admin not to let my content be scraped, copied, or whatever else, but once I hit “submit” can I really still call it “my” content and claim ownership?
