I am not a developer, so I am looking for something simple where I can enter a series of URLs, articles, etc. and the AI will return some type of interpretation of all the information. Thanks!

Can you please elaborate on your use case? What kind of articles? What do you want the output to contain?

highwayman474• 4 years ago

Say I input a bunch of articles on a single topic, the AI interprets them and comes up with some unifying summary or conclusion or maybe something novel.

This would be a nice tool, since none of the OpenAI services support chasing of URLs. Someone could write a GPT wrapper that fetches a list, strips off headers and footers and converts it all to plain text, and then formats it into something that can be fed to the transformer with instructions to spit out a digest and maybe continue the conversation from there.

You want to aggregate and summarize content from a bunch of urls?

highwayman474• 4 years ago

Yes, but all the URLs would be on the same topic, so some type of unified conclusion.

You can do this in the OpenAI Playground, chunk by chunk:

  1. Start with list of URLs
  2. Summarize each URL.
  3. Append commentary to the summarizations,
     use "for each compare and contrast with the others" structure
  4. Summarize all that
  5. Generate result with summary on top, 
     then the summarizations with compares/contrasts
  6. "Write conclusion"

Now read the result, see if that's what you meant.

If so, have someone write that in Python for you.

Thanks, maybe I can ask ChatGPT how to code this :)

Will the output be a sumsumary or will it be synthesis? Will it be able to draw new conclusions from putting the ideas together?

Primer.ai does this for some govt agencies. Not sure on the quality of their products.

highwayman474• 4 years ago

Interesting, does that use the latest GPT tech or something else? And how do we know which is the better approach?

Sounds like an easy way to write college papers, articles, and blog posts. ;)

https://text-generator.io is like a cheaper gpt-3 but also crawls/interprets links to images, webpages, images with text in them, it's OpenAI compatible so if you get it working with OpenAI switching is easy
