JammyDodger introduces the new AI-generated Weekly Summary as a complement to the Daily Summaries, inviting users to share feedback on what works and what doesn’t. This topic is distinct from the Daily Summary feedback thread. JammyDodger notes a technical glitch where references to ‘24 hours’ from the daily template persisted, and observes that the AI, referred to as ‘Bert,’ tends to be either very sparse or overly verbose with topic selection. twofoursixeight expresses appreciation for the summaries, while Moin shares a link to a specific post in the summary. Aaron_Walsh asks for setup instructions, which Moin provides via a link to the introducing periodic summary reports topic. sam mentions moving the weekly summary to GPT4o to address potential model-related issues. Moin asks if this is also the place for feedback on the Weekly Summary of AI topics, noting some repetition. Finally, satonotdead highlights a humorous ‘plot twist’ in the AI-generated text where the bot acknowledges a degenerate loop and attempts to restart.
To join our Daily Summaries[1], we’re also trying out an AI-generated Weekly Summary as well so that you can all get a snapshot of what’s been happening here on meta over the past 7 days.
This is the topic where you can share what you like and what you don’t like about the Weekly Summary, and offer up any suggestions on how we could make it better.
Just to note, this topic is for feedback specifically about the Weekly Summary version (I’m sure some feedback will be applicable to both, but I think we may want different things out of a weekly one versus a daily version). Feedback for the Daily Summary can be found here - Daily Summary Feedback
I think it was pulling the weekly data, but there were just a couple of references to ‘24 hours’ that snuck in from a stray line left over from the copy-pasting of the daily one I used as the base.
It’d be nice if Bert wasn’t so stingy in the amount of topics he included, but he seems to have no middle ground for this. You can have a few or you can have super lots. He made some nice choices for the handful he did pick though.
Looks like he’s firing blanks at the minute.
