Loads of people are Google's AI Summaries; it's the first result, so, hard to miss.

I used to hate Twitter when it first launched because I thought short form text was stupid, now I see everything will become summaries with AI and nobody will ever read anything meaningful.

It could be something of an historical return to form; a small class of properly educated people and then the wider, semi-literate masses.

I'm "properly educated" by most definitions, 95% of web pages are garbage and a summary is fine. Also I imagine you frequently read summaries of books and movies and many other things before deciding to read or watch the entire work.

>95% of web pages are garbage and a summary is fine.

Mmm, summarized garbage.

>Also I imagine you frequently read summaries of books

This isn't what LLM summaries are being used for however. Also, I don't really do this unless you consider a movie trailer to be a summary. I certainly don't do this with books, again, unless you think any kind of commentary or review counts as a summary. I certainly would not use an LLM summary for a book or movie recommendation.

Communicating in pictographs

That should be a next step. It takes too much time to read summary. So the result should be a summary picture! Text based image generation is quite good now. How would you call this chatgpt feature?

Gotta love them emojis

If someone wanted to do this for whatever reason, there's actually a language that can be written exclusively in emojis. It's called toki pona, and while emojis aren't the standard writing system, there have been several proposals. It works well since toki pona has a very small syntax (only around ~150 words iirc)

There is plenty of text for which a good summary will have a far higher ratio of meaning to words than the original.
