Great, another excuse for people not to read the article.
We've got enough problems with people reading a headline and running with it. I hate to think of google summarizing some scientific study - particularly some "pop" scientific study - and have everyone confidently reciting it as though it's been conclusively proven without making any effort to look at the source.

Anyone reading an article before the update can get one summary while everyone reading after the update can potentially get a totally different summary. It's like when people talk about Google search results without realizing their search/browsing history has put them in a particular bubble. There's no guarantee any two people's result ranking will be the same which can affect their understanding or perspective on a topic.
