No, I like the idea of it being a daily summary of HN that is automatically generated. But the fake banter does not work for me coming from AI the way it does with human hosts. Basically with a human host I develop a parasocial relationship with them where the banter feels like we are hanging out, so it makes it fun. This is also based on human experience so the host will make comments based on their real life interspersed with the dialog. But the AI has no real life that it is capable of remembering, so the simulated banter feels hollow. In that case I would rather this be omitted, and simply do the summary that ChatGPT is good at without trying to pretend to be human. Basically a to-the-point, more businesslike attitude would be nice. Like it says "I found an article on XYZ" but you didn't "find" it, it was the second article on HN and you are giving me the top articles on HN. This mock-reality is uncanny. Just say "the second popular article today was..." and give me a summary, then summarize the discussion.
And summarizing the discussion is the real challenge, which I have not seen ChatGPT do. As another user has commented I do not come here for the articles, but for the discussion.
I made this [1] 6 years ago reads HN top 10 articles, top comment every morning... this thing has been sitting on my shelf since then playing everyday lol. Which is amazing because it's a janky breadboard that I never put on a solderable board.
Anyway regarding summary... I looked at rapid api before they have a sumarizer on there, can plug it into polly. It seemed decent but I wanted my own summary based on my own reading process... but never got around to it.
