Ah yes, the dark pattern of revealing your interface as bait and then requiring a sign up after clicking "run".

This is a gross, dark, user-hostile UI/UX pattern.

100% I hate it. Just pop up when I click inside before I paste or type. Why is that so hard?


I use ChatGPT to summarize. It works well, and I can ask questions about the text I paste into ChatGPT.


I think ChatGPT limits you to a certain number of characters, so you often can't summarize a long article or a paper


People are chunking text, summarizing that, compiling summaries, and then summarizing those.

basically... map reducing.

Currently doing that to summarize ~4k pages of public comments that comprise of ~22 questions.


Does this limit what kinds of questions you can ask of the map-reduced summary of summaries? For example, "how many comments mentioned [concept or theme] across the entire set of comments?"


What is the tech behind all these AI products that are popping up? Like do they use ChatGPT under the hood? Some other paid service? Something open source?
