Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A key part of the cognitive omnishambles in which we find ourselves is that everything now has a shitty AI generated summary that purports to tell you what's inside, but that no one ever checks for accuracy.4:19 PM · Oct 9, 2026 1419632
dorian @doriantaylor.com · 09/10/2026↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.socialchecking the summary for accuracy would of course require spending the effort to read not only it, but the original 2241

It's quite shocking actually how consistently Google will invent and insert nonexistent information within truthful information. 0171
Casey Brant @basecase.bsky.social · 09/10/2026↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.socialPeople keep using the "summarize what I missed in this channel" feature in Slack, and pretty much every time the summary specifically @'s someone, that person will be like "that's a mischaracterization of what I said", but then *those same people* will turn around and use the summary tomorrow. 0142
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Bosses told techies, put AI in our product! So everyone put in chatbots, but users hated them and didn't use them, so back to the drawing board. What else can it do? Well, it can abbreviate. Can it do that well? Don't worry about it 4723

Hellscape Navigator @hellscapenavigator.bsky.social · 09/10/2026↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.sociali've been persuaded the technology is "promising" and has a lot of potential but goddamn they pushed it out far too early it's like a hammer factory that makes hammers with a 10% chance of deleting the nail. you would not buy that hammer. you would buy a different hammer. 280

David Grover @davidgrover.bsky.social · 09/10/2026↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.socialThere's an axiom in analytics projects: Don't show the client the report until after data QA, bc bad data will ruin all your credibility. Summaries are viable BI uses for LLMs, but 2/3rds of them are inaccurate in at least irritating ways so nobody trusts the report. "Oh it works now" yeah yeah. 130

rui boom ⋰˚☆ @ruiboom.bsky.social · 09/10/2026↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.socialThe irony here is that "no-one likes chatbots", "no-one checks summary accuracy" and "no-one working on Google Maps uses Maps" are inaccurate over-summarisations. 000
