That's a real nice idea. I especially like how it is aware of the context of a selection.
Looking at the network requests, it seems pricey to run though, as it appears to use a whole page as input.

#12Really interesting. I've always wondered about accuracy issues with this type of tool, i.e. are incorrect or misleading explanations obvious? What are the downstream consequences?
Similar issues with people-sourced explanations I suppose!

#13Site unusable due to content misaligned with page, not working for me on Safari on iPhone.
Looks cool though will try looking from Desktop…

#14Brilliant. Patents are super hard to read because they language used is usually overly verbose and unintuitive.
I'm hoping that I substitute plain english words for lengthy patent jargon so that I can actually read the things for once.

#16This is fantastic. Congratulations to the authors!
I would pay for a more polished version of the service. This service is precious!

#17Can you explain more about what you mean by feeding context from the paper into the prompt?
Also, how expensive is this to run? I’d love to build some fun projects on GPT-3, but I haven’t dug into whether that’s cost prohibitive.

There are peculiar rules for patent claims. For example, each claim must be one sentence, which means ugly run-on sentences are common.

#19man I was just thinking about that yesterday. Will give it a try

#20Thanks for building this. Me and my team have been driving it for the last few days, and it is a pleasure to use. Those law documents - that is probably us :) Can you comment a bit on fine-tuning options available at the user-level. There were cases (~15%) where it summarized is exactly on the wrong end of the spectrum (disclose within 3 days for example, came out as disclose post-3-days).
Hey! We're working on adding more options for the user if you're not getting good explanations. They're not out yet, but we'd love to talk. You can email us at aman (at) explainpaper.com
