What I do is copy the URLs for reference, and summarize the issue myself in as few sentences as possible. Anyone who wants to learn more can follow the reference.

I looked at the decision itself sufficiently to see that it was the case I remembered and that my recollection of the facts and the decision was correct.

I just didn't include a summary because I didn't find a good one I could link to. Normally I'd write a brief one myself but I found that hard to do when Perplexity's summary was sitting right there in the next window and it was embarrassingly better than what I would have written.

In this instance the only reason I considered using the AI summary was that there was no Wikipedia article about the case (which surprised me as it is one of the foundational cases in Commerce Clause law...although maybe all the points in it are covered in later cases that do get their own Wikipedia articles?).

Normally I'd just copy Wikipedia's summary into my comment and link to Wikipedia and to the decision itself for people that want the details.

How would you know if you wanted one? Someone mentioned they would like to see a case on this subject but they didn't think it would ever happen. I knew of a case on the subject, found the reference, and posted the link. At that point we are already on a tangent from what most of the thread is about and from what most people reading it care about.

The point of the summary would be to let you know if the case might actually be relevant to anything you cared about in the thread. (The answer would probably be "no" for 95+% of the people reading the comment).

I think you misspelled "convenient". More than the small effort that it takes one to share generated text, one has to consider the effort of who knows how many humans that will use their time to read it.

If a LLM wrote something you don't know about, you're not qualified to judge how accurate it is, don't post it. If you do know the subject, you could summarize it more succinctly so you can save your readers many man hours.

If LLMs evolve to the point where they don't hallucinate, lie, or write verbosely, they will likely be more welcome.
