How about giving writers the respect they deserve and not algorithmically rewriting their work? Has our attention span really gotten so short that we cannot read articles of substance any longer?
- dreeves 15y agoWell, it's like having an abstract of a paper. Which is a good point -- ideally the authors themselves would provide the summary. Still, you certainly need summaries! I'd say the only time summaries could be a bad thing is for fiction, where you don't want to give things away. For non-fiction giving things away is whole point. :)
- petercooper 15y agoIt's not algorithmic but at Slashdot, the summaries are one of its biggest wins.
- sabalaba 15y agoIt's less about attention span and more about signal/noise ratio.
