If Your Time Is Short

Not just any Reddit summarizer bot.

Description

Let's face it, hardly anyone reads past the headline these days, especially not Redditors. I can't force anyone to start, but I can provide the next best thing: summaries! If Your Time Is Short is a Reddit bot that peruses various subreddits for rising posts linking to news articles and uses GPT-3-Turbo (only as advanced a model as needed) to reply to the post with a concise, bullet-pointed summary of the article's contents.
