Once that becomes mainstream, it’s time to summarize the article in the search results too. Once people are ok with that, it’s time for the next step: intentionally biased summaries.

So, let’s say you’re in an tyrannical dictatorship, and the tyrant doesn’t like articles that tell you about his failed wars. Well, guess that’s going to happen to articles that speak of those wars in the wrong way? I mean, you gotta guide the public opinion, right? See where this path leads?

I mean, you can’t really summarize without adding a bias. And LLM summaries are inherently biased by the people who make them as it’s not algorithmic, but tied to training data and prompting.

Oh, but it can be much more than that. The possibilities are endless.

  • If an embarrassing war, famine or recession is mentioned in the article, exclude that from the summary.
  • If the article is mostly about such a forbidden topic, focus on any irrelevant minor aspect, no matter how small. An article about a war is condensed into a summary that talks about gardening.
  • Always include a line praising the local tyrant, even if such a thing wasn’t even mentioned in the original article.
