Quickly Summarize Long Documents With Chat GPT

How ChatGPT can create summaries for you
Materials needed: You will need a device that can connect to the internet, an OpenAI account, as well as a URL to an article, research paper, or the title of a book. The process should take about one to three minutes.
1. Find your article, paper, or book to summarize
If you need ChatGPT to help summarize an article or research paper, find it online and keep it open in a separate tab.
2. Open your web browser and log into OpenAI
Open your web browser of choice and type in chat.openai.com/chat.

Log in or sign up for an account.
3. Type your request
In the chat box, type in TLDR: followed by the link to your article. TLDR stands for too long, didn't read.

After you type in the prompt, paste the copied URL of your article, and ChatGPT knows you're requesting the chatbot to give you a summary. Then, press the send button and wait for the magic to happen.
What are ChatGPT's limitations?
If you're using ChatGPT to summarize an article, book, or piece of research, keep in mind that ChatGPT isn't aware of events that occurred past 2021.
For example, suppose you ask ChatGPT to tell you about Joe Biden's political campaign this year to ban TikTok. In that case, the chatbot will tell you, "It is currently unclear what actions, if any, the Biden administration may take regarding TikTok in the future."

No problem for a 7-page document but what about a 100-page document?
