If you could find a way to summarize the comments too, that would be a huge win IMO. Either way, very cool.
Planing the feature... I thought at least we can summarize some top comments and find their sentiments.

#12What I've been dreaming of is a "podcast" generated for a day of HN, but focusing on the comments and conversations. I come here for the convos. But I also commute in a car, and I exercise with headphones. I want like a radio show made of segments. Each segment is a post with the best conversations between users. Use a generative Ai voice service (like Coqui), and have it speak the comments aloud. Then I can listen t…
Hey, we're working on this! https://pgpod.com/ You have to add articles yourself and it does not have any special logic for HN threads yet.
This is very cool, for sure. But what I'm looking for is something that is super optimized for threaded conversations, like this site. Imagine if each poster were a unique voice, and the format was basically listening to all of the top conversations for a given post, in a way that makes it easy to follow the conversation and back-and-forth from the threads. There would clearly need to be a little bit of design applied and some simplification, but I think that's where some GPT element could come into create a simplified conversation with a condensed amount of speakers.

#14lmao this has the potential to reduce the time i waste doomscrolling HN posts like "is coffee good for you?" by 90%. thanks a lot! imagine having this for other social media: "elon musk is trolling and a skater falls on a banana" i would get so much time back
NP, that also the reason I started the project - to reduce my time on HN posts

Interesting, I think the point about processing with GPT is important. Our thing started as naive narration but many articles are hard to follow when simply narrated.

#18This is obviously a neat project, and I'm excited to see it. But... I spent a couple of minutes scrolling through the summarised posts and my main takeaway was that it was extremely boring compared to the normal experience of reading HN. Instead of dipping in and out of content, finding interesting nuggets and jumping around between topics, this felt like listening to someone read out the football scores.

Similarly, I spend much more time reading HN comments than the articles themselves.
I made this little ChatGPT prompt for analyzing the comments[1][2].
But, I'm still here reading comments. I guess there are just some things AI can't replace... yet?
