I am the author of the post. The reason is that English is not my native language, and summarizing is very resource-consuming for me, much more than if I had to do it in my native language. But I take note of the antagonistic aspect and I will make sure to rewrite the summary ;)

FWIW, I'm a native English speaker and I've used ChatGPT to copy edit my own text to good effect, as well as both summarising and expanding on topics. If it helps you, I hope you don't feel the need to avoid using a useful tool.

If it's causing issues, you can remove mentions of it (I know there's also a desire to call out when it's not your own words entirely though). I'd only feel the need to explicitly say it was from a model if I'd not reviewed it - to make sure if it said something wrong it was clear to readers I'd not approved it.

I'd like it if it was more accepted though and it's a shame this has come up as a discussion.

Well you should know that you're writing is just fine as it is! Definitely understand and appreciate your motives here either way. I don't agree with the fellow commenters that this alone is enough to dismiss the entire thing, its not that big of a deal one way or another.
