How do you know they want a correct summary? AI slop is good enough, acceptable for many people.


What is the use of such a summary?


Determining whether something is worth reading doesn't require a good summary, just one that contains enough relevant snippets to give a decent indication.

The opportunity cost of "missing out" on reading a page you're unsure enough about to want a summary of is not likely to be high, and similarly it doesn't matter much if you end up reading a few paragraphs before you realise you were misled.

There are very few tasks where we absolutely must have accurate information all the time.
