I feel like we are asking too much of a summary. If a summary is a lossless jpeg, do we expect it to show the image more or less or do we expect it to tell us if the image is worth seeing?
The summary is a tool. You can decide independently if the article is worth reading, based on other factors. For instance, some people might read it just because of who the author is. A historian might read it just based on the date.
> So the summary doesn't really tell me whether it's worth a read or not.
I do not see the problem. Maybe ask gpt4 if you should read the article. Or ask a fellow human. This thinking is paralyzing: is it worth listening to this album, or I better watch this series? I do not think that is a problem with gpt4 summarization ability.
