Is SciGPT: Summarize a scientific paper safe?
SciGPT sends selected scientific paper text to ChatGPT or OpenAI to generate summaries.
On supported scholarly publication pages, the content script reads the page's main body text, normalizes it, and includes up to 1,500 characters in a summary prompt. The background script forwards that prompt to ChatGPT by default, or to OpenAI's completions API when the user selects the OpenAI provider.
