Firefox reader mode (necessary to read this, as the font size and color choices are poor) estimated this at a 30+ minute read. It would be a courtesy to readers for authors to provide a summary. That way people can decide if they want to spend time reading further. This is why academic papers have an abstract up front.
This is one of the AI side effect that I fear the most.
We're not there, and perhaps will never be, but I imagine a point where information organization becomes fully neglected because an AI tools can do something about it.
We have a taste of it with emailing that became a wasteland as we're supposed to filter and search it either way, and mail notifications have only a on/off button and nothing in-between.
Not reading emails is I think close to the norm, and I guess "TLDR" will stop being an expression and just a fact of life ?
