Comment on The ChatGPT wrapper product boom is an uncanny valley hellscape

Comments

I was thinking about this and my take is following; if somebody can provide me a browser extension that can help me while I "surf" the web, I would pay some tiny subscription fee of like $2.99 or $3.99 for it.

My vision of such browser extension was; let's say I stumble upon some random website and I want to know what this website is all about, ChatGPT can summarize a website for me. I already tried prompting ChatGPT to summarize me some random websites and it gave me pretty good responses. Or I stumble upon some long article but I'm in hurry, I would want such article to be summarized for me, again ChatGPT can do it. Or I looked up and found some long podcast or interview on YouTube, this now can be summarized by Google's Gemini better than ChatGPT.

I was thinking about making such extension but for me personally it would be a lot of work for not so much financially viable idea but I would like to have such extension and pay for it.

I will try it but can it summarize videos too? They need to add that.

Arc browser does exactly this.
