Given the consistency in argument of all but one or two of the top-level comments posted at the time I commented, I find it likely that the commenters are some combination of bots and underpaid astroturfers working in very low cost-of-living parts of the world.
Also, I'd correct your opening sentence like so:
> This is the thing: they probably AI "summarized" it.
I've seen many "summaries" that have come out of those lossy compressors... when tasked with compressing inputs of any appreciable complexity, the output is often too poor to serve as a summary. What you get sure is summary-shaped, though.
> Most of the comments in this thread are, unfortunately defending the thing that will make them less useful and less relevant...
If your claim here is that most of the comments so far are astroturfers or similar, ignore the rest of this line. If it isn't, I'd recommend that you read TFA in its entirety... or go back and read it more carefully if you already did. A sizeable section of the essay talks about what I think you're gesturing at.
