A prototype is available, though it’s Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this’ll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to “return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals”.
How this works is it uses ChatGPT to generate a search query, utilizes WP’s search API to search for relevant article text, and then uses ChatGPT to extract the relevant part.
I prefer a floating button next to the text than having to set my default search engine to Wikipedia or downloading an addon that only adds it to the context menu, lol. I need to complete my unholy trinity of levitating context buttons
And here I am going out of my way to disable any and all floating buttons.
