I think we can do better than an AI summary. If someone's gonna dump a link to a two hour video then they can damn well take the two minutes to type up why the hell we should care about it.
I'm kind of ambivalent to the AI summary, but I think forcing the friction of demanding the poster put in some perfunctory level of effort does a lot to discourage lazy and worthless postings. There are lots of people who just want their little dopamine hit of thread response notifications rather than to actually engage in discourse or the dissemination of valuable information.
My ambivalence is getting weighted more to the negative side by the day as the worst people leverage the worst aspects of it, the least offensive being lazily generating a summary of some random video just to get fake internet points as you say, and the worst being someone who thought a version number for a piece of software was an IP address telling a room full of developers that their jobs are going to be obsolete and that they need to deal with it.
Perhaps I take it too personal but I kinda have to, I only truly know what is personal to me.
