The worst thing about this bot is that people trust it. I shouldn't have to follow it around, check the summary and the article, and write a summary of its mistakes. That it is thoroughly unreliable should be broadcast when it is used.

Yes that's the problem - people won't read the article not knowing the full story, or in some cases not knowing the correct story. This has an adverse effect on conversations, though in saying that it is still quite useful to see if I'm interested in the article. We have a few options:

  • Banning the bot
  • Opening a PR to add a disclaimer to the bot
  • Making @[email protected] automatically reply to every summary in our communities

I'm inclined to go with the third one however it may come off as a bit spammy

I'm fine with any of those options. The bot is a menace.
