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.

    fyi someone else launched one a day ago; please see my suggestions to them in their ‘how the bot works’ thread in tldrbot@lemmy.world.

    tldr: i am really not a fan of automated posting of automated plausibly-not-BS-but-actually-BS, which is what LLMs tend to produce, but I realize some people are. if you really want to try it, please make it very clear to every reader that it is machine-generated before they read the rest of the comment.
