But then there will be no comments to summarize.
- notoverthere 2y agoBut what if the AI just hallucinates the comments? People will never know.
- rcarmo 2y agoThey could actually be better than reality. Who knows?
- jgoodhcg 2y agoI went to this thought too but then I remembered the 90-9-1 rule. The AI summary is for some portion of the 90. The 9 are still going to comment. What they comment on and how they generate the comments might change though.
- jefe_ 2y agoOur digital twins will write the comments. They will be us, but with none of our flaws. They will never experience the shame of posting a dumb joke, getting flamed, and then deleting it, for they will have tested all ideas to prevent such an oversight. They will never experience the satisfaction-turned-to-puzzlement of posting an expertly crafted, well-researched comment that took 2 hours of the workday to draft - only to receive one upvote, for their research will be instantaneous and their outputs efficient. Of course they will never need to humbly reply, 'Ah, I missed that, good catch!' to a child comment indicating the entire premise of their question would be answered with a simple reading of the linked article - for they will have deeply and instantly read the article. Yes, our digital twins will be us, but better - and we will finally be free to play in the mud.
- endofreach 2y agoWe all are, since a long time. The mud just doesn't shine so bright.
- MichaelZuo 2y agoWell by definition the vast majority of comments written, anywhere, cannot be memorable. Assuming the median reader reads a few tens of thousands comments in a year, only a few hundred would likely stick without being muddled. At best.

- bredren 2y agoI wonder about Amazon reviews right now. Part of the utility of writing a review is that it is read, but the primary search for keywords in reviews now requires the user to wait for AI generated responses first. Then the user must tap through another link and then expand an individual matching review. It’s absolutely buried.
- osigurdson 2y agoI think people generally like writing comments. Reading articles, in their entirety, less so.
