I expected the books to be public domain, but no, it's just random (?) books from many different publishers. I hope you have a good legal team...

Thanks, I hate it and this is exactly the kind of thing I fear is ruining the internet.
Do you purchase the book before making a summary? How does that work?

Now whether they're interesting or not is another question.....
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So, AI. Meaning you “generated” 73k “summaries” of which you are wholly unable to verify the content of because it would require you to have read the books and listened to/read the “summaries”. What is with sloppybros and thinking quantity is more desirable than quality? What motivated you to “remove” this fact from your website? Legitimate criticism?
> Meaning you “generated” 73k “summaries” of which you are wholly unable to verify the content of because it would require you to have read the books and listened to/read the “summaries”. No, we generate summaries on the fly, too. Why would you generate all the summaries in advance when you can summarize real-time when a user clicks on it? > What is with sloppybros and thinking quantity is more desirable than quality…
Well the most obvious reason is that the summary page would load faster. I clicked on a book summary and it took much longer to render than even a bloated web app usually takes.
73k summaries isn't that many. If your site gets any traction most of those summaries will be hit repeatedly and will have to generate anyway. Creating the summaries in advance would also allow you to test and verify the output, if you're interested in that.

How would this ruin the internet?
The invisible hand that somehow forces authors to bloat their 3 paragraph gist into 200 pages kills the whole industry. I don't care if a book is only 15 pages long and costs $10, just leave the filler out or separate it with a blank page, then could come the 200 page long bs.
