This was a long time ago! Summaries today are shockingly good!
But I was rattled by the *snake oil* multiple high-positioned people were promoting and the lack of even a cursory glance at it by people inside the company

It was shockingly idiotic:
It simply copied the last paragraph of any article, verbatim, and called that a 'summary'

it ignored paragraphs labeled 'abstract'

if an article ended with/ 'the author lives in Santa Barbara with his dog Barnacle' that was the 'summary'
