Google announced it’s creating an LLM-based article summarizer for its new search experience. The tools will just summarize a post or news story for you, so you don’t have to actually read a pesky news story or blog post.

Publishers who don’t want their stories summarized can apparently opt out by incorrectly labeling their posts as paywalled, thus demoting themselves in search.

The future is gonna be LLMs summarizing LLM junk, all the way down.
