GPT 4 in 2025 will just ask you if you want to accept cookies
..this is programmer humor
Honest question: what are you getting at?
Edit: for anyone upvoting this because they think it’s about sharing a shortcut, look again.
it's a cool thing you've made, but where's the joke?
ChatGPT is getting the entire website and is supposed to summarize the article on it. The article has nothing to do with cookies or privacy settings.
This post isn’t about the shortcut, it‘s just linked for reference. If you take a look at what the shortcut produced it’s not exactly an endorsement.
People are seeing the name and everything else they've read flies out the window.
It gave me a chuckle!
Perhaps the AI is reading the cookie banner that appears on nearly every page, and then reading the article?
Using ChatGPT if I had to guess
Not sure if that’s sarcasm, but yes ChatGPT. It’s also in the title.
Edit: for anyone upvoting this because they think it’s about sharing a shortcut, look again.
also for everyone reporting this as "offtopic" 😄
Lmao except you’re passing the cookie polio text into your prompt
The shortcut is just grabbing the entire website, you can have a look yourself it’s the same version. It also clearly got the content itself ^^
Just add to your summary instructions to ignore the cookie text
Yeah I might do that. I tried it a second time and it didn’t come up again, so might just have been a one time thing ^^
Maybe the first time it set the cookie which is why on subsequent tries it isn't happening
It's learning
Would be nice ^^ Sadly LLMs don’t change after training afaik
Cool premise regardless
I had kind of a similar idea but for a browser extension specifically for terms of service pages.
I assume you use their API, how do you make sure no one takes your key and makes a shit ton of requests?
Are you referring to this extension?

This gives short and sweet details on the tos.
Oh nice, no need to make it then lol
The official ChatGPT app has an iOS shortcut action, it’s using everybody’s own accounts.
Ooh ok
That is neat. How long does it take to come back with the tldr?
I timed it and it took around 10s. Sometimes faster sometimes slower, definitely not super quick. But it’s not blocking the screen so you can at least do something else while it’s running.
Can’t seem to download this shortcut
I looked at the shortcut to see if there was maybe anything malicious and there’s an action that it doesn’t recognize and is prompting me to update shortcuts, but I’ve got the most up to date version.
Guessing that’s a part of the problem for you too.
Edit: looking at an OP comment, I’m guessing it’s a call to the chatgpt ios app, which I don’t have.
Makes sense. The GPT app requires 16.x and I refuse to lose my dopamine 15.x jailbreak
I wonder how hard it would be to do this tampermonkey or similar cause then you could send the request when you open the link then you wouldn't have to wait as long
