Apart from the general "AI" issues and there are plenty, this specific implementation would encourage people to not participating in the conversations and being a passive user, which I see as a huge downside.

And the "couldn't be bothered to read the linked article, but will comment with a shitpost about the headline only" people are already bad enough as they are...
I don't disagree with that, but your assumption that "AI" will improve the situation is not only unfounded, but known to worsen the situation. Just look at other "AI" social media and how they are doing.
Hmm? Yes I mean it will make it worse of course.
Sorry, misread what you actually wrote. Time for bed.
Thats why i think having the feature summarize the linked article would be useful
I already said this in the matrix room, but i think that feature would be much better as a link action that summarizes linked articles instead, it might help with notreadingthearticlebeforecommenting-itus
I wonder what happened to the Auto TLDR bot.
People didnt interact with it all that much so i assume the dev didnt feel like continuing
This is super cool! Yeah you can copy and paste but it's harder to copy the entire thread with all the comments because you'd need to expand them all. I would probably feel more skeptical if it wasn't bring-your-own API - it'd be neat to be able to hook this up to my local ollama instance.
I wouldn't use it, but I don't think I have any reason to say you shouldn't add it, except maybe that it's more bloat. Compared to media bias, it seems less useful and more effort to maintain.
Personally not a fan of this, wouldn't use it, but also wouldn't mind if other people wanted to have it. Maybe nice to hide it from the UI in the options?
