Summarization was implemented everywhere because it was the easiest AI feature to ship when a VP screamed "Do AI, so our C-suite can tell investors we're an AI company!"
Summarization is damn useful, though. It has solved clickbait and TLDR-spam, now you can always know if something is worth watching/reading before you do.
Agreed, the dehyping of article titles is one of the main reasons I built hackyournews.com, and the avoidance of clickbait via proactive summarization is consistently rewarding.
