Hey fellow Lemmings,
I run AI News Summary Bot, a project that brings you News summary! The bot is once again live on our community at [email protected]
This is just an update as its moved instance to hilariouschaos.com
The bot is still in its early stages, and I’m excited to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to improve it. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas. I’ve got some free time for development coming up so along with a backlog of features I would appreciate some suggestions in terms of where you would like to see that effort focused.
FAQ: Q: How do I avoid hallucinations? A: I don’t use a traditional GPT model its operating on text sections doing a semantic summarisation.
Q: What’s its accuracy? A: It has a >95% semantic accuracy.
Q: Why did it summarise 2 articles at once A: That’s a known issue with Euronews as a source in some cases I’ve tried to patch it in the past but its an intermittent issue so hard to debug.
Repository: If you’re interested in contributing or exploring the code behind the bot, you can find the repository at https://github.com/muntedcrocodile/ai_news_bot
Donations: If you’re interested in donating to allow me to spend more time developing please do: monero:8916FjDhEqXJqX9Koec9WaZ4QBQAa6sgW6XhQhXSjYWpQiWB42GsggEh73YAFGF86GU2gEE1TTRdWSspuMgpWGkiPHkgBTX
Stay informed, and let’s build this community together!
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t
You should also include either:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

The purpose of the lemmy community is the fact checking. If you wanna practice what you preach you can go write corrections for the summaries as comments its useful data for the next processing step.
So you want it to be everyone else’s job to fact check your bot for you? If you can’t be bothered to check your own bot, why should we take it seriously either?
No, you need to fact check information before spreading it. Once you’ve posted it it’s too late, people will have read it and some of those people may believe it and spread it further. You need to either read every summary yourself (or hire a team to do it) and take responsibility for any mistakes, or abandon the project. You don’t get to blame other people for not fact checking the junk you post online.
Go find a summary that is incorrect and not blatantly obvious that it is an error.
U gonna pay me to fact check? The Monero link is right there.
BTW attitude like this makes me want to spend my time writing an ai bot to generate mass propaganda radicalising the masses on millions of puppet accounts that are indistinguishable from real people. But instead I make a tool that clearly states that it is ai and is completely foss and transparent. I like playing with ai and lemmy I write code using those 2 things for fun as a hobby hope I use that power for good. If my bot goes dark u will know why. You have been warned.
Wow that does not make your intentions seem more pure lol. “Pay me to do something bad or else I’ll do something worse mwahahaha”
I don’t have time to fact check. U said I should pay someone to fact check. I don’t have money to pay fact checkers. If u think its that important u can pay for that.
I’m not paying for a service I don’t want just because it’s being run unsafely, that isn’t how anything works. If you can’t fact check you need to abandon the project because it is harmful, end of story. This is pretty clearly more of an edgy teen situation than a crazy techbro situation though, so good luck growing out of being an edgy teen, hopefully someday you’ll develop some empathy and make actually good software.
Wow. What kind words coming from someone who claims to be so empathetic. I’m gonna make propaganda bots now just cos u insist on being an asshole instead of moving on with ur life and ignoring something u don’t like.
Ive gone and identified the things that would annoy you personally the most and that’s the ideology they are gonna push. I’ll make sure to message you when it goes live. Don’t worry the bots are gonna looove trump. I just ran some tests seems I can generate 10 comments a minute that’s 14000 comments a day that should be sufficient to make a significant shift in the entire lemmy political landscape. This is on you personally I wouldn’t be doing it if you weren’t so hateful and had a little more empathy.
Sure thing bud, enjoy feeling like a supervillain or whatever this is supposed to be
This comment turns me off of the entire concept.
It’s like announcing you’ve created a machine that can repurpose garbage and reduce waste going to the landfills, but it just spreads random garbage all over the neighborhood with the intent that the rest of us can dig through it and pull out anything that might be useful and discard the rest.
It just creates much more work for everyone else with minimal positive results.
It makes excellent data on current events for my stock trading bot.
Also its more like it goes through a pile of trash pulls out a bunch of useful stuff with 1or2% trash still in it and then sells that at a store. Don’t come to the store. Tell the store what from its collection is trash.
