Ask Lemmy

Ideally something with decent AI summaries AND headlines.

For a lot of news, a well written headline is all I really want to see first so I can decide if I want to read more. Then a good summary is often all I need. Most articles are loaded with garbage fluff and some random person's opinion (or a hand picked person for a sensational opinion) making me simply not want to read articles.

I have been trying ground news (paid) for a few months, and it's AI is pretty sad. The headlines are just direct copies from one of the sources, and can often be very far from what the summary says (I assume it miscategorized an article about a different subject into the bucket, and happened to grab that one's headline to use). Oh, and I don’t care about baseball scores, but I do care about sports. I don't seem to be able to tell it that as it doesn't have a label for that.

All in all, this is really the kind of thing LLM AIs should be good at... language. So I would hope someone out there sells a service to get me news efficiently.

Edit: let's pretend we are not on reddit. If you think my request is bad, you probably are making assumptions that aren't true. So rather than tell me I am wrong for wanting something, say nothing at all. Some people who actually want to help will eventually try to do so.
