ELI5, conclusion of this article in 5 bullets points. This is how we read long articles now. Meanwhile, the writers also use the same prompt techniques to generate the content. So, why bother reading long articles again?

LLMs empower users to summarize articles effectively. Even when media outlets attempt to block such usage through robots.txt, LLM-based tools often bypass these barriers, making paywalls and restrictions less effective (ex: browser extensions). This phenomenon reflects a broader trend: summarization through LLMs has become the preferred method for consuming content.

The core reason is simple—people lack the time or patience to read lengthy articles. Instead, they seek concise insights, getting straight to the point without the fluff. This demand is reshaping not only how content is produced but also how it’s consumed.

So what’s the effect of this new culture? Should writers just drop the final draft of their articles to the public? A visual mind map could make it look even better.
