      I saw someone propose that there should be a min post length for the summary bot, because one of the summaries was just as long as the article. It’s nice to have it inline, but still.

      In this case it’s 75% of the original article and it also introduces the risk of getting something wrong or leaving something important out. It’s shortening and rewriting it, but it’s not summarizing it.

      At least let the first paragraph be a summary of the entire article and then you can read on and go into more detail if you want.

        If you bring 75% of the original article length to an English teacher and call it a TLDR, I’m pretty sure you’d fail the exercise.
