sometimes you don't have time to read an entirety of a large article. You want a quick summary, some people are poor at summarizing things in their head as they go and can get lost in dense text. Extensions like these really help me with headers, structure that I want to follow, quick overview and gives me an idea if I want to deep dive further.

  Sometimes it's not even an article, but a video. And sometimes all you care is just a single tiny fact from that video. Although I don't think this particular summarizer works for videos. And I don't think Ollama API supports audio ingestion for transcription. There are some summarizers that work with YouTube specifically (using automatic subtitles).

Why don't you try using these tools yourself so you have an understanding of them? People like to get shit summarized, its really not as deep as you are trying to make it out to be.

  Did you read my original point? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41814310 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41814310 given that, why on earth would I waste my time?
