sometimes you don't have time to read an entirety of a large article. You want a quick summary, some people are poor at summarizing things in their head as they go and can get lost in dense text. Extensions like these really help me with headers, structure that I want to follow, quick overview and gives me an idea if I want to deep dive further.

Sometimes it's not even an article, but a video. And sometimes all you care is just a single tiny fact from that video.

Although I don't think this particular summarizer works for videos. And I don't think Ollama API supports audio ingestion for transcription. There are some summarizers that work with YouTube specifically (using automatic subtitles).

Speaking of, I made also a youtube summarizer at https://github.com/tcsenpai/youlama

Why don't you try using these tools yourself so you have an understanding of them? People like to get shit summarized, its really not as deep as you are trying to make it out to be.

> You might be surprised to learn that I actually think LLMs have the potential to be not only fun but genuinely useful. “Show me some bullshit that would be typical in this context” can be a genuinely helpful question to have answered, in code and in natural language — for brainstorming, for seeing common conventions in an unfamiliar context, for having something crappy to react to.

> Alas, that does not remotely resemble how people are pitching this technology.
