More context:
@dalias why would you want a summary of a post feed like mastodon? What is the point?
@xri @dalias
Random guess:
To sell to others 🤷
@YvanDaSilva @xri Kinda, but I think the point is kinda to be able to dismiss people's opinions as whatever the slop-extruder claims is the "summary" of them, but pretend you considered them.

@YvanDaSilva @xri Like, if you have techbro brain and someone in your replies says something insightful in a way you haven't heard before, it has a chance of breaking thru and making you reconsider things.

But if you get it "summarized" by replacing it with a blend of the closest commonly-repeated stuff from your corpus, you're gonna interpret it as "oh yeah, just more of the same complaints I've already dismissed".

It's basically "turning your audience into yes-men as a service", which sounds like his peers would love it.

@xri @dalias when microblogging still isn't digestible enough I guess. Like cliff's notes for cliff's notes. Makes zero sense.
