Okay so it's not AZACKLY a summarizer but rather a tool to split a long youtube transcript into multiple chunks to load it into ChatGPT. But it COULD be a youtube summarizer with just another couple prompts!
/* ------------------------------------------------ */
"Hey ChatGPT, summarize this video in the style of David Attenborough narrating an animal documentary:"
In this digital escapade, our protagonist sets out to create a one-page website with a specific objective in mind - to allow users to compress lengthy KZbin video transcripts. Initially, he contemplates the complexities of web scraping and API usage, the wild terrain of terms and services, and even delves into the hazy undergrowth of Stack Overflow. He momentarily stumbles upon an undocumented API endpoint on KZbin, like finding an uncharted path in the vast digital jungle.
However, realizing the convoluted path he was taking, he opts for a simpler approach, one that only requires copying and pasting the transcript. He decides to add a quirky twist, asking the website to evoke a vintage 1975 aesthetic. Though the internet as we know it was only a distant prospect in that era, the AI at his side endeavours to capture the spirit of the time with a retro look and simple typography.
A sudden detour into the history of ARPANET, the precursor to the internet, provides a brief history lesson, even uncovering the first illegal act committed on the early internet. The comic interlude aside, the protagonist's focus returns to his project.
He quickly prototypes his 'Transcript Compressor', and despite the AI's design not quite matching his expectations of a 1975 look, he proceeds. He tests his creation, pasting a lengthy transcript, and compressing it with a simple click - it works, a small victory amidst the code and chaos.
However, the chat GPT, he was working with had a character limit, forcing him to reconsider his approach. He asks the AI to split the transcript into manageable batches of 15,000 characters. Another round of trial and error, another round of tweaks and changes. There are moments of self-doubt, but he perseveres.
His efforts are fruitful; the AI produces dynamically created sections, splitting the text as requested. Yet, an unexpected glitch appears: copying the segmented transcript doesn't quite work as expected, leading to another iteration.
Our protagonist continues to wrestle with the process, fine-tuning the communication with the AI, attempting different methods, before finally, success! The function operates as intended. Although the result isn't perfect, it's a triumphant moment nonetheless. A tale of small victories, of challenges overcome, and of unflinching persistence, a reminder that creation is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.
And with that, the video concludes, a chronicle of a small web project, one defined by moments of self-discovery, trial and error, and the joy of creation. The protagonist thanks the viewers for accompanying him on this quest, a testament to the exciting trials and triumphs of building in the digital realm.
