Made a little iOS Shortcut to give me a TL;DR for articles with ChatGPT

Pretty accurate.

For reference: Website | Shortcut

90 % of the Internet is just articles on cookies.
- GPT 4 in 2025 will just ask you if you want to accept cookies

..this is programmer humor
- Honest question: what are you getting at?
  Edit: for anyone upvoting this because they think it’s about sharing a shortcut, look again.
  
  it's a cool thing you've made, but where's the joke?

  also for everyone reporting this as "offtopic" 😄

Lmao except you’re passing the cookie polio text into your prompt
- The shortcut is just grabbing the entire website, you can have a look yourself it’s the same version. It also clearly got the content itself ^
  
  Just add to your summary instructions to ignore the cookie text
- Cool premise regardless
  
  Cool premise but personally if I were going to show this off I'd use an example where it worked correctly

I had kind of a similar idea but for a browser extension specifically for terms of service pages.
I assume you use their API, how do you make sure no one takes your key and makes a shit ton of requests?
- Are you referring to this extension?

  This gives short and sweet details on the tos.
  
  Oh nice, no need to make it then lol
- The official ChatGPT app has an iOS shortcut action, it’s using everybody’s own accounts.
  
  Ooh ok

That is neat. How long does it take to come back with the tldr?
- I timed it and it took around 10s. Sometimes faster sometimes slower, definitely not super quick. But it’s not blocking the screen so you can at least do something else while it’s running.

- Is that an Android Lemmy client?

Can’t seem to download this shortcut
- I looked at the shortcut to see if there was maybe anything malicious and there’s an action that it doesn’t recognize and is prompting me to update shortcuts, but I’ve got the most up to date version.
  Guessing that’s a part of the problem for you too.
  Edit: looking at an OP comment, I’m guessing it’s a call to the chatgpt ios app, which I don’t have.
  
  Makes sense. The GPT app requires 16.x and I refuse to lose my dopamine 15.x jailbreak

I wonder how hard it would be to do this tampermonkey or similar cause then you could send the request when you open the link then you wouldn't have to wait as long

- It’s clearly Android
  
  It’s iOS
