Looking at these threads is mind blowing. 1000+ replies. Is it possible for TrainerRoad to just employ some LLM, seeing as they are tech savvy, to summarise a thread.
Not the solution you want, but there’s a tool currently present in the Discourse app that will filter to some key comments within the longer topics.
It’s found at the bottom of the original post. Its far from perfect, but it is better than nothing for now.
I’m going to bump this (I can’t believe more people haven’t asked for this). Agree with the OP, that these epic threads, as rich as they are in knowledge, are just too long to read and extract the pertinent information from. Forums are meant to be interesting and fun, it’s not PHD research!
It does look like there’s an AI Summarize plugin available to be implemented. It just depends the hardware that TR is using to host this forum.
I agree with the OP, and I LOVE PhD research.
Selecting the right criteria to pick what is relevant will be challenging. For example, it’s common knowledge that popular posts aren’t always knowledge-rich. Not very distant from real life interaction.
