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!

I'm sure you know, but you're probably going to get a lot of grief for this. I'm deeply suspicious of any new AI tool, especially one that tries to get in between me and my news (looking at you Feedly), and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So if you're not already, I'd prepare yourself for a lot of strong emotions, and probably not in a good way.

If you wanted to get ahead of that kind of thing, you might want to explain what kinds of safeties you're building into it. For example, on your roadmap you say want it to "Generate argument of for and against perspective then summarise the result of the 2 arguments." This kind of thing in particular is quite risky. Any time you try to introduce value statements into an LLM summary, you're in the danger zone. Even if you're just trying to summarize the actual perspective of the piece, you're basically just begging the LLM to hallucinate. But asking it to summarize hypothetical opposing arguments is just asking for trouble.

I could go on, but I don't want to start a pile on. I appreciate when folks try to build cool stuff, you've just waded into some choppy waters...

Ohh im expecting mass outrage. I was really pissed when lemmy bullied auto tldr bot to death so i created my own better version (in its own community so u dont have to see it if u dont wanna see it).

Im currently using Falconsai/text_summarization as the summaries model. It seems to be very good at non bias general text summarisation.
