Digg does this too and I really enjoy it. I don’t see the problem.
The problem I see is that it introduces another degree of separation between the user and the wider Internet. Instead of indexing sites, browsers are trying to interpret them for us. The extreme edge case of this is not having websites at all anymore, just apps and an omniscient AI that answers anything. Cool in theory, but in practice these omniscient beings really aren't and instead are very fallible. Presumably these tools are also owned by corporations with shareholder values that are often contrary to user values. I can only speak for myself, but I experience these summaries as a loss of control over how I interact with the Internet and a step down a path I would rather not tread.
In this example the AI also does not provide anything valuable. It only defines a forum thread in terms of the question asked.
The very last sentence of its summary provides extremely useful context that may make you want to click through to find more in-depth answers. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Only if you have very limited experience searching for information. Those kinds of details should be a given. That's my concern, that people who do not know what information is useful come to rely on these summaries and forfeit their own agency, rather than develop critical reading and decision making skills
The problem is when you're searching up a problem, you typically want its whole context. If you need AI summarizarions, you would instead ask for it from your preferred AI, not search it.
Absolutely nothing is stopping you from reading through for the full context. Y’all are just insufferable.
There's a reason why academic source citations recite which page are the citations from. Looking where exactly is the citation referenced from a first glance is a better experience than skimming through the whole source.
Yes, clicking at the post could help with the context since it's mostly not that long. But seeing what exactly it references based on your search query is considerably more helpful than seeing just its summary. As in the community's name, it's mildly infuriating.
Well, the context used to just be there. Now it's not, and this is worse.
True
I have a problem with it. None of the information in that summary is useful except for maybe the list of Steam features at the end. So... about four words out of the whole thing.
The rest is context that I can already assume based off the page title and the URL, without some AI limply regurgitating it to me.
The first part literally summarizes the context, and the last part summarizes the reasons, it’s extremely concise you’re just nitpicking and bitchy.
Or maybe different people find different things useful than you do. No need to be an asshole just because people disagree with you.
Not sure I'm annoyed either. But lemmy will tell me to be!
Every time I come back here, I remember why I stay away longer and longer. It’s just the most extreme people from Reddit that never went back.
You're more than welcome to not come back if you find it that bad.
It sounds like you'd feel better not having to deal with all these people with... (let's see the thread...) different opinions about the usefulness of an AI summary. Edit: to be fair, whoever this person is, I already have them blocked. Maybe they were being belligerant.
100% sincerely, life is too short to spend on social websites you hate.
