You can read and summarize an article. No problem. It’ll take you 10 minutes. But how do you scale that to 1,000? You won’t believe me until you see it, but GPT-3 is not just ‘good enough’ at doing this, but the AI is actually *reliably better* than humans at the task!

Can we run this prompt locally instead of using OpenAI?
