Now if we could only generate a comic strip to go with it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat

Practically every time I read any transcripts I imagine them as Microsoft Comic Chats. Including criminal trial transcripts.

I would be careful to draw that conclusion. Not all information LLMs are trained on is accessible to the wide public (e.g. ChatGPT has training data from closed sources). Regardless, If you share the details of your prompt, I’d be interested to see whether my Google-fu turns up information.

Are you suggesting that LLM can't produce novel output?

No.

That surprised me also because today I asked it to make a summary of an article and it refused, saying it has no access to internet: Me: " Dear ChatGPT, please could you summarize this scientific article: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/4/1131 " ChatGPT: " I apologize, but as an AI text-based model, I am unable to browse the internet or access specific webpages like the one you provided. However, if you can provide…

Hum, I regenerated this prompt and this time it told it accessed Internet, but it was hallucinating: Me: " Dear ChatGPT, please could you summarize this scientific article: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/4/1131 " ChatGPT: " Certainly! The article titled "Pregnancy Outcome in Women with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Healt…

Yes, be careful of this. If you aren't using a plugin or the web browsing version it will make a total guess about what the article contains just from the URL, and describe it like it has read it!

"I apologize but I am not able to browse websites" is what I get from Bing Chat. Any clues? EDIT: It seesm that "More Creative" mode has external access. I saw it mentioned here but I don't know how I would have figured this out from the information in the website.

OK, I tried this, and it appears like this option has external access, but it is actually just hallucinating a response based on the title of the document. Crazy.

Exactly. I continued probing it about myself and it said I contributed heavily to many open source projects, especially on Dec 26 2022 (it made sure to emphasize that). Of course it's all made up.

Kind of more interesting in the other direction summarizing conversations into an article sort of like what these folks put together: Show HN: The HN Recap – AI generated daily HN podcast | Hacker News https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35831177

Same here. Interviews hide interesting information within a lot of noise and I'd much rather have a concise and information dense summary.

Would you be interested in the other direction? A tool that could take hours-long podcasts and turn them into an information-dense summary outline?

Yep, I'd love a podcast app that can remove all the fluff from conversational podcasts and give an abridged version. Like blinkist, but for anything I throw at it.

Do you have a way to contact you? I might know of something that would do the trick.
