Publishing does not and should not mean you give away all your rights.

Part of the reason for writing is to cultivate an audience, to bring like-minded people together.

Letting a middleman wedge itself between you and your reader damages the ability and does NOT benefit the writer. If the writer wanted an LLM summary, they always have the option to generate it themselves. But y'know what? Most writers don't. Because they don't want LLM summaries.

Also, LLMs have been known to introduce biases into their output. Just yesterday somebody said they used an LLM for translation and it silently removed entire paragraphs because they triggered some filters. I for one don't want a machine which pretends to be impartial to pretend to "summarize" my opinions when in fact it's presenting a weaker version.

The best way to discredit an idea is not to argue against it, but to argue for it poorly.
