  • Haha yeah, I get the same feeling. You definitely shouldn’t rely on it, but at least the bot isn’t trying to click bait you by intentionally hinting at something more exciting than actually happened.

    The headline here makes it sound like he’s sold it off entirely, that it‘s most likely just a paper shuffling is lost. But if you want to summarize the actual content, most people who didn’t bother reading the article won’t read a second, potentially worse, article if it’s 75% of the first one. Make it one concise paragraph and people might actually find out a bit more detail.





  • I saw someone propose that there should be a min post length for the summary bot, because one of the summaries was just as long as the article. It’s nice to have it inline, but still.

    In this case it’s 75% of the original article and it also introduces the risk of getting something wrong or leaving something important out. It’s shortening and rewriting it, but it’s not summarizing it.

    At least let the first paragraph be a summary of the entire article and then you can read on and go into more detail if you want.
