I find it weird anyone is surprised by this. LLMs don't understand what they're doing at a fundamental level, so when you ask for a summary, you're asking for it to make something more concise. Which it will proceed to do, with no knowledge of the relative importance of what it's pruning out. There's a whole category of issues around this that I don't see how the current formulation of AI based on LLMs can solve.

> I find it weird anyone is surprised by this. I find it weird anyone believes the Earth is flat, yet here we are. Most people don’t understand or care how LLMs work and the companies pushing those systems have little interest in explaining. The state we’re in is sad and disappointing, but far from surprising. > LLMs don't understand what they're doing at a fundamental level There are a large number of people on this website, which is ostensibly a geek forum, who fail to understand even that simple concept. Worse, they actively refuse the notion. What chance do non-technical people have?
