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.

This doesn't need to be an LLM. There are already bots on lemmy that condense articles and post it as a comment beneath posts with article links. They're usually quite useful and don't rely on LLMs so they dont hallucinate any content that wasnt in the body of the article itself.

Would not mind seeing that brought here.
