A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

🤖 I'm a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

The summaries have been in testing for at least a couple of months, and they’re now more widely available to a “subset” of users in the US on Amazon’s mobile app.Amazon says they’re available “across a broad selection of products.” So far, we’ve seen them on TVs, headphones, tablets, and fitness trackers.
They also seem to focus primarily on the positives of the product, spending less time on the negatives and leaving them for the end.
That said, that could be because Amazon’s search already elevates highly rated products, so it’s hard to find summaries of anything that people have been particularly frustrated by.
The feature can be found at the top of the review section on mobile under the heading “Customers say.” At the end, the paragraph includes a note that it was AI-generated.
Summarizing customer reviews has turned out to be one of the more obvious and easy to implement uses of generative AI.

It's quite ironic for an AI summarisation tool to talk about an AI summarisation tool.
Depending on what you mean by "AI", this bot doesn't fit the criteria. It works by extracting and ranking sentences and does not apply a LLM.
That's really curious. LLM were usually on the other side of this note and not considered the traditional AI people referred to.
