Ask HN: State of Automatic Text Summarization

1

Wordtune

I'm always complaining about too-long articles that don't include something like an N bullet point summary, but it occurred to me maybe some of the new A.I. Powered text models could do this semi decently. Does anybody know of any automatic text summarization tool that works pretty well? I found this list [0] but I tried all the tools listed and none worked for me. I was trying to summarize the article from this submission [1]. Other things I tried: * https://wordtune.com/ : Can summarize overall, and per paragraph. Pretty cool! * https://quillbot.com/ : Even though it has a chrome extension, I had to copy-paste the text (doesn't take URLs). -- 0: https://gpt3demo.com/category/summarization 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33894679.
