What is the connection between shaking and summarisation?
Summarized: shaking my head at yet another AI thing I don't need nor want. (Edit: typo)
Reading the article helps.
Shake to Summarize is now rolling out to Firefox users on iOS. The feature is simple: in TLDR cases (too long, didn't read), shake your iPhone a bit (don't drop it), and Firefox will generate a summary of your webpage.
in before shit gets summarized randomly when you didn't actually even request it to be summarized because it detected some stupid shaking of your phone
So many iTrashOS Apps already did that with "Feedback". I'm not frustrated, I just moved the fucking thing. And now I'm annoyed and frustrated you fuckwats.
Yes I read it, I just don’t like that the action of summarising is linked to the act of shaking. You’re maybe pretending to lose characters by the act of shaking and that’s the rationale but I see myself shaking my browser only if it does something unwanted
Shake on iPhone is supposed to be tied to “undo”. But by all means Firefox, let’s ignore that.
Here’s hoping there’s an actual button or menu item for summarize, and that it’s not just hidden behind some esoteric gesture.
There is a “tap to summarise” in the mockup. I guess they think this feature will be used so much to justify an extra gesture.
To have Firefox summarize a page, simplify the language and then read it aloud to you, shake your phone and then throw it at the wall.
"Summaries are powered by generative AI, which is predictive technology and not guaranteed to always be accurate. Summaries may have mistakes. You should verify summaries against the original page." (Source)
So... you're supposed to read the summary, and then read the original page? What's even the point in having the summary?
