But for serious, it is possible to link to and summarize the chats,
acknowledging that MOST OF WHAT AN AI SAYS IS USUALLY NOT WORTH
POSTING IN ITS ENTIRETY HERE (currently, with no comment on potential
future human-equivalent-or-beyond AGIs).

For example, https://chatgpt.com/share/68d7def7-4fd8-800c-9c22-a4a630bcbd0d
is a summary of why the One Piece version of the pirate flag has
become an international symbol of protest against corrupt governments
over the past two years.

Notice that I did not need to literally repost the entire multi-page
discussion here, to post that one-sentence summary.  This summary is
far more readable in the context of this list, and those who want to
see the entire discussion can simply click the link.

(If you're worried the service only lets you store so many chats, then
perhaps delete the chat after a month or so.  By then, that old
AI-generated overview is almost certainly no longer immediately
relevant and should usually be replaced with a more current
AI-generated overview if anyone is interested, perhaps using the short
summary you posted to this list as a starting point to get said more
current overview.)
