Is there a market for a tool that can summarise news articles / blog posts etc? It looks like a relatively important feature for various aggregators and news sites but is it a problem worth solving as a separate service which is commercially viable? Please let me know your thoughts if you think you are planning to or using a service like this.
Yes the world need a good summarization. But it should be good. Unfortunately, most of the summarization out there is extractive (select the most relevant few sentences from the article). What we need instead is a good abstractive summatization which is a hard problem and I did not know a good solution yet which goes beyond rewiring a title or maybe a paragraph of an article.
Yes this is too hard a problem to solve and not sure worth solving
It sounds like a cool idea, if it could give me a good summary of a long article I would be very interested. Would be very interested in seeing this in action.
Maybe make it a browser add-on.. if you can make a freemium module that might be a thing, due I think it be nice to play with I'm not sure if it's actually worthy.. like who reads a ton that might benefit from inaccurate summaries? Maybe people in news/editing/publishing? Possibly interview a few to find if they would care for something like that
Technically it is doable, you saw what GPT3 did so makin a summary is a easy then that. The question is how much are you willing to pay for it? and how many people do need this tool? Finally, how many times a month a user want to such tool?
To get more hype you need to say it is AI based) good idea by the way.
