Lol, the source data for all AI is starting to use AI to summarize.
Have you ever tried to zip a zipfile?
But then on the other hand, as compilers become better, they become more efficient at compiling their own source code…

Yeah but the compilers compile improved versions. Like, if you manually curated the summaries to be even better, then fed it to AI to produce a new summary you also curate… you’ll end up with a carefully hand-trained LLM.

So if the AI generated summaries are better than man made summaries, this would not be an issue would it?

If AI constantly refined its own output, sure, unless it hits a wall eventually or starts spewing bullshit because of some quirk of training. But I doubt it could learn to summarise better without external input, just like a compiler won’t produce a more optimised version of itself without human development work.
