AI Summaries of Articles (hexbear.net)

Most people do not read the article link that's posted. So I put an AI summary of the link as a comment, but as a spoiler so if you don't want to engage with it you don't have to and also the full article so people can more accessibly read the article. Also as a spoiler so it doesn't take up a full page of a comment. It got removed by a mod as AI slop.

I could use AI on a headline and you would never know the difference. I could just say it's my own summary also probably wouldn't know the difference. Punishing people for being transparent about using LLMs who are not forcing the reader to engage with them is a net positive and a good practice to teach. The opposite is people still use them and just pretend they aren't.

I don't feel that any potential benefits of the bazinga plagiarism machine outweigh the very obvious downsides, like how the outputs are often completely wrong and the massive energy consumption and environmental impact the AI industry runs on.
