Dang and others, would it make sense to change the HN posting workflow such that a one-paragraph ChatGPT-produced summary was the first visible comment? Or otherwise make a summary easy to find.
Also, ask the poster if the title could be improved, and suggest a possibly better one?
Maybe it'd be unwise, of course.
- 93po 3y agoThe decision makers over HN as a software platform are pretty resistant to any sort of change, which is likely a mixture of deliberate intention but also lack of incentive to mess with what's already working.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI think automated summaries encourage shallow engagement and poor(er) comment quality. A summary is not the article, and the map is not the territory. What do you think they would add, and why do you think that is a good thing?
- bluGill 3y agoWhat I want is something that says does the article actually say anything interesting beyond the headline. all too often I've clicked on a link and discovered the headline said it all - good for the headline, but bad for in-depth understanding - often the commenters know far more than the article. In this case the article is worth reading. However it also is ignoring some important factors and so we still need to read the comments.
