"It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox."

If you need to summarize the news, which is already a summary of an event containing the important points and nothing else, then AI is the wrong tool. A better journalist is what you actually need. The whole point of good journalism is that it already did that work for you.

That should be the point but there is barely good journalism left.

How does AI mis-summarizing the (allegedly bad) journalism improve it?

It SLAMS away all the fluff.

I have a real journalist, but this is more on the "did you know this was important" side. Like how it's fine to rinse your mouth out after brushing your teeth, but if your water isn't fluoridated then you probably shouldn't (which I got from skimming the article for the actionable information).
