    They’re pretty good at summarizing, but don’t trust the summary to be accurate, just to give you a decent idea of what something is about.

    That is called being terrible at summarizing.

      if you want to find a few articles out of a few hundred that are about the benefits of nuclear weapons or other controversial topics that have significant literature on them it can be helpful to eliminate 90% that probably aren’t what I’m looking for.

        Or you might eliminate some that are what you are looking for because the summaries are inaccurate.

        Guess it depends on whether an unreliable system is still better than being overwhelmed with choices.
