Using AI to summarize books one doesn't (have the time to) read and then monetize said summary through ads, because one loves literature (as explained here)?

I must be getting old but I can't see the purpose of it.

I mean, if I was the owner of that website, instead of ~wasting~ (edit: spending) my time reading AI summaries of a book and then correct said summary to make it publishable I would read that one actual book, or at the very least a few more pages in that one book.

But I imagine in our AI-saturated age actually reading a book is probably a bit like me—very much has been ;)
