Hi HN! I built a proof of concept 'newspaper' that creates short news articles of today's current events with GPT. This is a very rough proof of concept but I can't help but think this concept is the future. I think we'll all have AI daily newspapers in whatever theme we want, covering any amount of information we want, with the ability to expand or contract article length instantly.

Sharing just to get everyone thinking about this future. Thanks for reading!

Nice! I love the frontend design, it’s simple and feels like a newspaper. Also, I made something similar but just for cybersecurity news. You can check it out here: https://notifycyber.com/

Thanks and this is awesome!

Some questions I have after trying to solve a similar problem, ok if you'd rather not share: Are you using OpenAI/GPT for summaries? Are you selecting articles to go in this or is the process entirely automated?

I like the future plans to alert users when something relevant to them appears in the news. That could be very useful beyond cybersecurity (though very useful for cybersecurity)

Do you pay for the news you rewrite?

If not, if this is the future, how is it sustainable? The original sources are required for this to be a thing.
