I’ve been messed around with random features in photon, and i tried something stupid today.

I was experimenting with an AI post summary feature, (just because i wanted an excuse to make a cool animation) but as I was using it, it actually ended up kind of useful.

If I were to implement this feature, it would only work like this:

  • The user would have to opt-in manually.
  • The user would need to specify what AI service they wish to use.
  • The user would have to specify their own API key, if the service requires one.

In the end, I probably won’t add this, since you can just copy/paste the content into an AI app. But it could also be slightly more convenient.

What do you think?

    Apart from the general “AI” issues and there are plenty, this specific implementation would encourage people to not participating in the conversations and being a passive user, which I see as a huge downside.

      And the “couldn’t be bothered to read the linked article, but will comment with a shitpost about the headline only” people are already bad enough as they are…

        I don’t disagree with that, but your assumption that “AI” will improve the situation is not only unfounded, but known to worsen the situation. Just look at other “AI” social media and how they are doing.

            Sorry, misread what you actually wrote. Time for bed.

        Thats why i think having the feature summarize the linked article would be useful
