    TBF I think there is something different between using AI to summarize (where it basically takes the average of articles and compacts them (kind of), which is something they are good(ish) at given what they do is create averages) and AI “generating” content that is the result of that averaging.

    I mean I hate that it’s injected everywhere but slop Ads are worse than slop summaries IMO

      I used to think that but I’m also noticing a pattern where it is just a waste of time and energy.

      AI generates the big wordy email that sounds super formal. Someone else uses AI to summarize that email.

      It’s like a dumb idea is decompressed and recompressed immediately and unnecessarily. We should never be using AI to do shit like write blogs or lots of words. That should be the human. It should only ever summarize if that’s it’s purpose. But inevitably, people get lazy and want it to write their article…

      AI summaries are generation of averaged content. It is literally the same thing with the prompt to summarize.
