I’ve used some of these features when I’m trying to skim many articles for my grad school work. It’s not terrible.
There is a use case for this stuff. Especially in a search engine.
Short of hosting your own LLM, Kagi is one of the few I’d hope can get it right and respect privacy. (So far unverified on the AI side tho)

it sucks at summarising information, though …com.au/…/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans…

Kagi actually does an interesting implementation for their search summary and while not perfect, it is miles better than the alternatives in my experience. It uses a combination of anthropic’s claude for language processing as well as incorporates wolfram alpha for stuff that needs numerical accuracy. Compared to google AI or copilot I’ve been seeing good results.
While it isn’t perfect at summarizing, I’ve found their implementation to be “good enough”, and it can summarize pieces near instantly, which I think is the place where it actually becomes useful. Humans may be better, but I dont have the money or time to pay a human to summarize pages for me to see if they’re going to be useful to delve further into.

Well that’s a bummer. I believe it.
