Well the problems to be solved aren't necessarily the technical ones. Another way of "solving" the problems is to stop trying to use it in contexts where it's limitations are more trouble than they are worth.
Here it is being tasked with and falling to accurately summarize news, which is ridiculous because those news articles come with summaries already, headlines.
So a fix may not mean fixing the summary, but just skipping the attempt as superfluous.
There are uses for the state of LLMs as they are, but hard to appreciate when it's being crammed down our throats relentlessly at things we never needed them for and watch them screw things up.
