    Most content you read is going to be long for a reason

    This is something all of those auto-summarizers neglect to mention. Sometimes long is good, and activates understanding in a way you won’t get from a one-paragraph tl;dr version.

    I wonder how Orbit would summarize this newsbyte? “Long is a bother. This better ❤️🤖”?

      I wonder how Orbit would summarize this newsbyte?

      I just tried it out of curiosity. It ignored your comment entirely (even when I specifically loaded just the page with the post, and only your comment beneath it) then explained what Orbit was (in a 2x longer string of text than the post description), then outlined what the lemmy community itself was about topic-wise.

      And it took 15 seconds to do it.
