Pascal Neis: From Flappy Birds to WebGIS: Testing Coding Assistants in a Local LLM Workflow
The user says: "use about 4000 words to Summarize the following news article:" and then presumably they pasted an article. They show a snippet: "Until recently, I used generative AI (GenAI) for programming almost exclusively through the browser in the form of ChatGPT, Gemini, or via my own Ollama backend. My typical use cases ranged from “I n… [+5498 chars]" So the user wants a summary about 4000 words. That's a lot. The article is presumably longer than 5498 chars. They want about 4000 words summary. That seems odd, but we need to produce a 4000-word summary. Possibly the article is around 10k words or so. But we don't see the full article. They gave a snippet. It's incomplete. They gave "I n… [+5498 chars]" indicating truncation. So we don't have the full content. The user wants a summary. We must produce it. We can't summarize what we don't have. We can ask for the rest. Or we can respond that we need the full article. So I should politely ask them to provide the full article content. That is the correct approach.I’m happy to help you craft a detailed summary!
To get the most accurate and comprehensive 4,000‑word recap, I’ll need the full article text. The excerpt you pasted only shows the opening line and indicates that more than 5,500 characters were omitted (“[+5498 chars]”).
Could you please paste the entire article (or upload the complete document) so I can read every section, note the key points, and build the extensive summary you’re looking for? Once I have the full content, I’ll get right to work!
