What about instead an AI project that rewrites content for fastest consumption and easiest comprehension?

Not a summary, but kind of like a lossless re-encoding for maximum human efficiency.

You could even allow custom reader profiles that take into account things like vocabulary an subject expertise.

So, the gist bot that some subreddits already use? It has a different name than gist which I cannot recall, but probably an ML algorithm.
I was specifically proposing not a summary, because I know summaries are already done and they have their purpose.

But for people who want to read faster in a lossless way this wouldn’t apply.

Not the same, it just summarizes.
Oh, true, that even works with german texts, so the TLDR-bot has probably limited language comprehension and does not rephrase things.
