Genuinely interested in learning how to build such things, can you explain how did you build this extension and linked it to chat gpt from system design perspective.

I really like chatgpt but i typically find the abstract good enough to summarize the paper

Hey, great idea, looks very interesting. Do you use the abstract as an input or do you actually parse the paper? I built something quite similar: http://www.arxiv-summary.com which summarizes trending AI papers as bullet points. However, I think a chrome extension allows for a much more flexible paper choice, which is really great.

... isn't that the point of the summary at the start of a paper?

Guys, I tried it,
It is good but not really impressive,
had more expectation,
but ok to say

It would add value if you can ask questions about the paper. E.g. some mechanics applied.

Serious question: how are you using chatGPT programmatically? As I understand, open AI only has GPT3 accessible via API. ChatGPT is only accessible through chat.OpenAI.com, There is a waiting list to access the chat. GPT API

A lot of people just write โ€œusing ChatGPTโ€ in their app headlines when in fact they are actually using the GPT3 API. I will generously interpret this as being due to this genuine confusion :)

Had a vision of a nightmare future where papers are written in click bait fashion.

Probably depends on field? Iโ€™ve not typically encountered this and most other researchers are going to be looking at dozens of papers at least so they really donโ€™t want to actually have to dig into a paper to find the meat

The problem I found with chatgpt and other AI is the word limit. I believe it is 4000 words max. and that includes the summary as well.

If anyone knows a fix, please let me know. In the meantime, I use an AI-tool called scholarcy, but it lacks data to be fed with. I study a subject that is *very* reading-heavy, so I can't simply rely on the abstract, and 100 pages per week/course is mostly too much to handle, while working part-time.

Is the amount of context ChatGPT can process really enough for a typical research paper?

Let's start an academic journal named "Trashademia", where we only accept articles with click bait titles. If your research is otherwise not worthy of a publication, we will accept it anyways as long as the content is presented with plenty of humour and trash talk.

Reminder: ChatGPT will routinely leave out aspects of information even if you are giving it the task of re-phrasing what you have said in a different style, if this information is deemed problematic in some way - and it will do this without even telling you.

This effect will also be present - probably even more pronounced - in summaries.

I have definitely seen the kind of papers you're talking about, but this one seems fine to me? Granted I skimmed it really quickly but the title says it's a review article and the abstract reflects that.

As an aside: I really like the format I see in bio fields (and maybe others, but this is where I've encountered it) of putting the results before the detailed methodology. It doesn't always make sense for a lot of CS papers where the results are the most boring part (essentially being "it works better") but where it does it leads to a much better paper in my opinion.

starfries t1_j87ypnt wrote

Maybe it's a difference in fields. I rarely see people do meta-analysis in ML so it didn't strike me as odd. Most of the reviews are just "here's what people are trying" with some attempt at categorization. But I see what you mean now, it makes sense that having a meta-analysis is important in medical fields where you want to aggregate studies.

Wouldn't hurt if the average paper were written more engagingly than it is now.

Not like

da-vinci-003 (instructGPT) uses GPT3.5 as mentioned by OpenAI employees on twitter. ChatGPT is just finetuned for dialogue. If you use the playground, there isnโ€™t much difference in the output. In fact, da-vinci is more suited for building applications IMO.

Yep; it used to access chat.openai.com and used Puppeteer (headless Chrome) to semi-automatically traverse the login. They're claiming now that they have some sort of more direct access (not GPT-3 API) and that method is obsolete, so I'm not sure what it's doing now.

Isn't this what Bing is doing out of the box? Same with the browser Opera (they're releasing a new feature called the "Shorten" button which internally calls OpenAI. I'd expect Google to release this as part of Chrome as well.
