The issue with efficient summarization is the necessity of context. For a message to be effectively summarized you require a bit of "theory of mind"[0], you need to have at least a decent idea of what the receiver already knows. This is something that, especially when done for a single message at a time (with no other info), likely doesn't have a global solution.

Edit: I should be clearer, I believe that the solution shown here does not have this capability, and the effort of using ML to do message summarization is flawed in the general case.

Your edit and summarization is quite clear. Thank you for that.
