I really love this. Thank you.

Question: are you using ChatGPT to summarize the article and making that the title of each post?

>>albert+(OP)
Yes! I do exactly that. In the early version I posted the original titles, but many were too clickbait-y and hard to read. I find the rewritten titles much easier to scan through.

>>albert+(OP)
How do you decide how aggressively to summarize? That is, a 200-word summary of an 800-word article is very different from a 200-word summary of a 5,000-word article.

Relatedly, it would be neat if you had a slider or +/- buttons for each article summary, so someone could choose their depth based on how interesting the title sounds.

I don't decide it.

I just ask chatgpt to "summarize the article very concisely" and hope that it won't lose any important points. But chatgpt is really good at summarizing, so I don't worry much.

Having +/- buttons is a good idea, will add it to todo list as well.

I assumed you did one llm batch a day and served it to all users. With +- buttons wouldn't you need to re-engage the llm?

Could just ask the model for 5 lengths/levels of detail per article and have the +/- switch between them.

This is what I was thinking, sort of like the mechanism that Newsela and others use for their leveled reading platforms.

If you were so inclined, it would probably be pretty trivial to also offer leveled versions as well, which would be very useful for schools/teachers to use with students. There are a handful of companies that have bespoke leveled reading articles created from standard news articles. ChatGPT would make the workflow for creating news articles much easier, though manual QC would still be necessary to ensure that the article summaries are accurate and appropriate for students.
