Your feedback requested on new approach to longevity research summaries

[RapAdmin]

I’ve been playing around with using AI to help summarize research papers (open access) that seem relevant and interesting for longevity purposes. The goal here is to make these research papers more accessible and more easily translated into actions that people can actually take to benefit their lives.

I’m just catching up on papers I’ve been wanting to look at (so the sudden increase in posts won’t continue at this rate).

I’m asking the AI to summarize the papers in 400 to 500 words, with the added perspective of finding actionable insights for longevity-oriented biohackers. I also ask it to identify the weaknesses and limits of the research paper so we understand those too.

Is 500 words the right length? (too long, too short?)
Do you want more narrative or more just bullet points?
Do you have suggestions on how I can improve them?

Are there second level prompts / queries that you think I might add to a second follow-on post for these types of summaries (perhaps more indepth analysis of the biohacker implementation ideas, in those cases where its appropriate)?

Or perhaps "After completing the summary, identify 10 questions that a longevity-oriented biohacker might be expected to ask about this research after reading this summary. " and the answers to questions that seem most relevant to our community…

Here are some of the recent summaries:

• Inflammation in Atrial Fibrillation May Accelerate Cognitive Decline — A New Target for Longevity-Minded Brain Health
• Tempo Matters: Repetition Duration in Resistance Training and Implications for Longevity-Oriented Muscle Health
• Youth in a Test Tube: Newborn Plasma Metabolomics Reveal Biochemical Signatures of Early-Life Resilience
• Curcumin, Butyrate, and the Aging Immune System: A Microbiome-Centric Strategy for Longevity
• GLP-1 Drugs Show Systemic Anti-Aging Effects in Mice, Hinting at a New Class of Geroprotectors

• Calorie Restriction Rewires Aging Primate Brains at the Cellular Level
• New Proteomic Clocks Reveal How the Brain and Arteries Drive Human Longevity

I do appreciate the summaries. Thank you.

Personally, I like shorter summaries. If the summary provides a basic insight into the YouTube video or paper, I can tell if it’s relevant to me, and then if I am interested, I can always take a deeper dive with my own AI queries.

I am going to watch this with interest. I certainly wish you a lot of success with this. Based on my experiences with AI up until now, I personally don’t trust any AI summary at all, period. The only way I use AI atm. is to find papers I might not be aware of otherwise, as a labour saving device. But reasoning, comprehension, drawing conclusions - not a chance. But perhaps I’m a luddite in this case.

Yes, these summaries are very useful. I particularly like the “actionable insights”. Like DS, I prefer shorter summaries to identify areas of interest before embarking on a deeper read. Thank you RapAdmin!!
