If it can't put an accurate summary, and it can't put the text verbatim, I'd rather it just buggered off I guess. Not much point reading half the story and missing context and critical paragraphs.

Ban it.

It's basically a misinformation machine even if it doesn't have an agenda.

Disclaimer is pointless.

I’ve stopped reading them, found the summary to heavily change a story as context was completely removed, especially when political

It has about a 60% usefulness ratio in my opinion but I'd suggest option 2 an auto comment disclaimer that it often leaves relevant stuff out AND to downvote it when the summary isnt useful.

The latter because a) it's a signal to later readers that the summary is misleading and b) if the maintainer is monitoring (prob not) that's a clue as to which summaries need to be looked at

ban. A culture of reading the source must be encouraged

If the bot is taking clicks away from the ABC; that's not a good thing.

I like it.

The summaries it provides fall into one of the categories for me:

• Ignore because I've already read the article

• The summary is interesting enough that I'll go read the article

• Ignore, wouldn't have read the article anyway

Overall it's more articles read. Maybe a disclaimer or have it respond to votes or comments of good bot/bad not

I like it more than hate it and if it's wrong I just close its comment. Tbh if there's no pay wall or some kind of soft wall it should be encouraged for people to read the article rather than assume a bot or OP has represented the news issue in an unbiased way.

I like the bot. You just need a common sense approach, and realise it's trimmed a lot of content (which it tells you), and if it feels off, just click the link if the topic interests you.

I've whinged about it.

It's almost random selection of what to include or exclude can heavily slant the summary.

Just like humans. Just like AI. Just like any bot. Maybe I'm a bot. Maybe you're a bot.

We better get used to it, and be able to critically analyse a post rather than concern ourselves with 'who' wrote it.

Keep it and let people decide by themswlves if they wanna read it or the source article. Just add a autocomment disclaimer. Hell its opensource just make ur own ibstance that has the disclaimer. As long as it doesnt have an agenda its errors will balance eachother out on average.

I'm more concerned the community doesn't have a YT Piped redirect bot.
