@gutenberg_org Project Gutenberg, I love you and have supported you for many years, but I am begging you to stop with the “automatically generated summary” stuff. I don't know if you're under pressure to shoehorn in AI slop, but the summaries are weird and wrong, and frankly it's humiliating to be subjected to them. #AIslop
