Yep. I still have yet to see an actual use for AI. People are like “but summaries!” Summarize this: summaries are only useful if the information being summarized doesn’t matter, which to me means you could just skip the entire thing.

This isn’t a high school test, this is real life. Why are you trying to use SparkNotes?

    It's great for when you want made-up bullshit.

    Fake product reviews, for example. AI is fantastic for that. Want to buff up your shitty product's Amazon reviews? AI can generate the text for those reviews perfectly well.

    As someone with ADHD, I disagree. Sometimes the information is important, and I don't want to have to dig through a wall of text to find it. One thing that annoys me about normies when they write, is that they tend to blab on forever on things that don't matter instead of getting straight to the point.

    If people wouldn't use so many unnecessary words, I wouldn't need a god damn LLM to summarize their ramblings into something my brain can actually parse.

    They are great to tell you the words you need to search for something; they are great for analyzing "vibes" out of texts; they are reasonably good to generate you a link to some site that answers a hard to find question, traditional search would be better if there were any one around that isn't completely broken.
