When ChatGPT summarises, it does nothing of the kind

An article titled 'When ChatGPT summarises, it actually does nothing of the kind' by gctwnl explores the author's findings that LLMs, like ChatGPT, do not truly understand or summarise content. The author's experiments show that LLMs tend to shorten text rather than summarise it, failing to capture the essence of a document.

• LLMs give an illusion of summarising.
• Real understanding is beyond LLMs.
• Summaries often miss key points.
• LLMs cannot replace human understanding.
• Shortening text is often mistaken for summarising.
