Perplexity supports sharing URL to the thread. I think it's quite natural to link AI summaries like that.

I do not want to see posts to AI summaries with the AIs the way they are now. None I have used so far can cite sources correctly or verify its information. If the poster is not doing that verification then it is pushing that work on to the readers. If the poster did do the verifications than posting that verification is better than the ai summary.

I think you misspelled "convenient". More than the small effort that it takes one to share generated text, one has to consider the effort of who knows how many humans that will use their time to read it.

If a LLM wrote something you don't know about, you're not qualified to judge how accurate it is, don't post it. If you do know the subject, you could summarize it more succinctly so you can save your readers many man hours.

If LLMs evolve to the point where they don't hallucinate, lie, or write verbosely, they will likely be more welcome.

  • I'm a bit confused about these replies. The user was talking about posting AI summaries in HN comments. I suggested that posting an URL may be better choice.

    • I thought you were saying it was easy to share the chat session, not a generic URL the LLM used as source. If the second was the case, please disregard my comment.
