Hey fellow Lemmings,

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of AI News Summary Bot, a project that brings you News summary! The bot is now live on our community at !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.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.

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!

"AI" and "News' should be as far apart as "good idea" and "bad idea'.

[-] rompe@lemm.ee 10 points 5 days ago

It clearly states what it is and it stays in its own community. I don't see a problem here.

Have you seen modern journalist? AI is already much better than the shit they spit out

If u went and actually looked at what it did u would realise my implementation is not as bad as it sounds.

EDIT: plus its foss so u can go check the source

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 13 points 5 days ago

The concept is inherently flawed when you introduce an aspect (LLM) that can and will hallucinate (read: make shit up) when it's trying to present reality.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no place for that anywhere remotely close to news.

[-] Staden_@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

correct, but humans also exaggerate and lie a lot in the news, so maybe this AI could look through different sources and identify inaccuracies.

I haven't looked the source code tho...

[-] Staden_@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago

After checking the source code, well... it just summarizes the posts. Doesn't help much with the human error problem.

But as mentioned by OP, it's in early stage of development, and they plan to add features to "find the missing perspectives on an issue" and analyze political alligmnent information. So in the future maybe it could become a useful tool.

The model i have used gives a 60% identical summary to that provided by a human. And has an overall conceptual accuracy of >95% i was very carefull with my model selection and implementation as to ensure hallucinations are extremely rare if at all possible. Im not just feeding in "summarise this: " to a general purpose llm (known for hallucinations) i break the article into chunks at sentence breaks then make a summary of that chunk directly by passing it to a purpose build summarisation model.

[-] Staden_@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago

Have you spotted any hallucinations so far? I'm curious about what kind of hallucinations can be created when a LLM summarizes a text.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yep.

The whole original article text wss "Advertisment" and the ai spat out "Advertisement. A ad. Click here for a link to the edd sa s."

It Obviously couldnt summarise 1 word into multiple words anf thus tried its best.

Only 1 so far

Ok that's funny XD

At least it won't be harmful in any way.
