I don&#x27;t know, and neither do you. I&#x27;m sure it wasn&#x27;t important though.<p>And of course there&#x27;s no chance that the summary had wrong information not just missing information.<p>But again it&#x27;s all ok because AI took the responsibility for reading and understanding away from you. If your negligence results in major harm, try telling everyone &quot;It was the AI&#x27;s fault. I have no responsibility. I was told that I would never have to read anything again anymore&quot;

Yes.<p>Even if the summary (regardless of how it is generated) is perfect, it&#x27;s leaving out a lot of information by definition. If it weren&#x27;t, then it wouldn&#x27;t be a summary at all -- it would be the original paper.

Yes. Yes there is. It&#x27;s called reading the paper.
