My RSS reader automatically generates AI summaries for Hacker News posts and it works pretty well. Sometimes when I comment on a post I have to double check the summary is correct and it always does a really good job. I even had it generate comment summaries. It needs a bit of prompting to highlight individual arguments but it also does well here. I am very skeptical of the author's claims. Perhaps the parts of the articles being summarized are not actually important so the LLMs did not include them. Or perhaps the article does an exceptionally bad job of explaining why the argument is important. Also there's a difference between the API and free web interface. I think the web version has a bunch more system prompting to be helpful which may make a summary harder to do.
