A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

From my understanding, ChatGPT doesn't do anything like that by itself. If you want the story summarized, you'll have to request it and it will show up in the text buffer. There is no hidden internal state that ChatGPT can use to "think", there is just the text that you see in the text buffer.
The only hidden text that exists is the initial prompt that turns GPT into ChatBot, along with some start/stop tokens, that give control back to the user (plain GPT will just auto-complete both sides of the conversation).
Some experiments like AutoGPT do generate summaries and outlines for larger problems from what I understand. But ChatGPT is so far just a chatbot layer on top of GPT, without any extra cleverness.
