    I often feel this bot is no better than selecting random bits from an article. I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s clear the bot doesn’t actually understand the essence of what’s written.

    That said, I do still appreciate it for getting at least a gist of what an article is about. And I very much appreciate the people working on it and making it available.

      Yep. Often this sort of summary is generated by finding the most interconnected parts of text, and assuming they are the most important, then slapping them together. While it generally does pull out the most relevant bits, there’s no guarantee that they’ll make contextual sense together.

      Once you understand how it works and its shortcomings, you can make better use of it as a tool.
