This story was written with the assistance of an AI writing program.
While compiling my reading recommendations, I noticed a recurring pattern in my approach. This prompted me to consider seeking assistance from ChatGPT. Consequently, I crafted a prompt to succinctly summarize the essence of intriguing articles.
I experimented with two methods: submitting the article’s URL to ChatGPT, and uploading a PDF of the article. Utilizing the URL is straightforward and efficient, yet it faces two challenges:
- The URL must be openly accessible, without requiring login or payment.
- The AI must be able to clearly discern the page’s content.
Alternatively, converting the page content into a PDF bypasses these issues. While this method might seem slower, speed isn’t a primary concern. My objective is to obtain basic summaries of articles and posts I’ve already perused and found significant. In fact, having previously read and considered the content noteworthy is a prerequisite.
