FYI, here is the current prompt prefix we prepend to the story text before sending to GPT-3. Any suggested alternatives? Will try them based on points here. "Provide a detailed summary of the following web page, including what type of content it is (e.g. news article, essay, technical report, blog post, product documentation, content marketing, etc). If there is anything controversial please highlight the controversy…

Browsing through the summaries, GPT-3 seems pretty good at capturing “controversial” aspect of the stories, which is quite impressive.

yeah news articles really tend to highlight the "controversial" aspect. Unfortunately they are also the hardest ones to scrape...

haha yeah thats pretty funny. We need to figure out how to derate these models when the have no actual clue. And also how to scrape the source content even better...

It would be great if hacker news can integrate this feature in the main news so people can read the summary without leaving the page.

yeah, one of the biggest issues on HN is that folks comment without reading the story article. Perhaps this sort of summary of the story article can help drive a higher quality engagement.

This could be done using a browser extension for desktop which fetches the already summarized text generated for the bot.

Or better yet, rather than costing you server hours, it would authenticate the user with openai directly so each user uses his personal account
