New version of AI news bot is available https://github.com/muntedcrocodile/ai_news_bot

The program scrapes news articles from RSS feeds generates an AI summary of the article text and posts the article link along with the api summary to a Lemmy community.

You can find an example deployment of the bot [email protected]

No the AI summary is not as bad as it sounds. The summary is 60% identical to human generated summary and >95% accurate in meaning.

I was gonna work on daily briefing etc next as I fear Lemmy really won't be a fan of any political alignment measure (whatever I do someone's gonna call it bias). How does ground news do their alignment measure I assume its a 2D with x axis socialist conservative and y axis authoritarian libertarian type thing? Do they just have a raring for each news source or do they do it per article?

Less of an axis and more of general left-center-right, all with regards to which news outlets tend to lean one way in tone and language choice vs. another. You can select summaries of each bias to understand those choices in the app. It also helps break down a few other items of note:

While this may be beyond the scope of your efforts, it does do some solid highlighting of news sources for me.

There are a few Ground.news bots floating around Lemmy -- or at least there used to be -- that would comment on posts to provide some or all of the above.
