@quincy this isn't true in our experience at Discourse when summarizing discussion topics, nor is it my experience when summarizing books, etc. Do you have to read critically? Well, yes, that's true of everything you read. Including this.
@codinghorrorJeff Atwood What some of us who would rather not have to read LLM-summaries are getting at is that it doubles the amount you need to read critically. In human dialogue, we sometimes summarize or paraphrase each other, but then usually ask a question to the source (Did I get you?) and wait for an answer (Yes/No). Here, every reader would need to read the LLM-summary, then the original text, to critically analyze if the summary got it right. @quincy
