With summarization, you still read, but have to read less. These days a lot of articles have a lot of verbose content, just to keep a person on the page for a long time. Reminds me of students writing essays just to get to a word or page count.

Sure, and 10% of the time you get something that's lies which you don't get from actual reading.

These articles provide a better summary than the LLM ever could: they are not worth reading in the first place.
