This is a very long article so I asked ChatGPT for a small TLDR:

The author's AirPods were stolen and tracked via Find My app, leading to a frustrating pursuit across various locations. Despite coming close to the thief multiple times, the author failed to reclaim the AirPods due to the app's limitations and the difficulty in confirming the thief's identity. The AirPods remain in Lost Mode, and the thief continues to use them, leaving the author pondering the effectiveness of the Find My app.

That's an excellent summary. It fails to mention the author's reluctance to confront the potential perpetrator, and doesn't mention the author's colorful writing style. But for a summary in three sentences, this is spot on.

> That's an excellent summary.

I can't agree. The summary reasonable captures some of the "facts" in the story, but nothing of what it is actually about.

You are the real MVP. Great idea with ChatGPT. There should be a shortcut for Safari or any browser for a quick TLDR.

I have a service (made using the Shortcuts app) that takes whatever I've highlighted and pipes it to ChatGPT with a prompt that basically says "the user, who is a reasonably educated software developer, wants you to explain/analyze/summarize this piece of text that they've highlighted", and shows the result in a pop-up window.

What's amazing is that I could've built the shortcut on my iPhone while commuting to work, it's all built right in. The same service works without a single change on iPhone, iPad and Mac (where it's possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to it).

Sounds perfect, could you share this shortcut? Just remove your api key beforehand.
