Brave Launches Summarizer, Challenging ChatGPT's Woke Generative AI
Keneci Channel
Summarizer gives you a quick answer to a query, based on information taken from a variety of sources and presented in a single coherent text block at the top of your Brave Search results.
Unlike Google which takes its summarized text from a single source that it deems trustworthy, Brave using AI, collates snippets from several sources and merges them into a unified answer.
Summarizer is powered by large language models (LLMs) that were trained to “process multiple sources of information present on the Web.” This aids accuracy, makes its results more concise. Beneath the summarized text is a link to the cited sources, so you can always check out the original text if you want more context. Brave says those links will always be present in order to ensure answers are always properly attributed and so that users can “assess the trustworthiness of the sources.” That should help to “mitigate the authority biases of large language models.”
Brave explains that Summarizer is not based on generative AIs like ChatGPT which have their problems and can “spout unsubstantiated assertions.”
The software developer says the Summarizer is still early in its development of Summarizer, and could produce AI “hallucinations” that merge unrelated text into the snippets, and could also end up producing false or offensive text. The company is working to improve Summarizer based on user feedback and hopes to iron out these kinks.
Summarizer is available now on Brave browser and Search, and can be disabled in the app’s settings.
OpenAI's ChatGPT and its addition to Bing by Microsoft have been widely panned for generating blatantly woke and inaccurate responses. Many including Elon Musk, who is a co-founder of OpenAI, have called for an unbiased generative AI, a "BasedAI" as he put it in a tweet. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is rumored to be assembling a team to build such AI platform.
