The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that’s the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.
I said it before and I’ll say it one more time: YES, it does matter in this case, because the “AI” label and the consequent bullshit artistry tied to it grants the tech companies involved in it more venture capital from credulous investors persuaded by the bullshit labeling to put more money into it, which means the bad stuff you brought up happens even more as a consequence.
I’m not saying you can’t be annoyed at my being annoyed, but even here on this leftist shitposting site some people buy into the “AI” label meaning a lot more than it actually does and that has a ripple effect of consequences even here as well.
