In Defense of the Intelligent Use of AI Summaries A response to “Are AI-generated summaries suitable for studying and research?” — TU/e Library, February 24, 2026 The Wrong Question The TU/e Library’s February 2026 article makes a credible, data-grounded case against AI-generated summaries.

For that audience, the answer is: no, not yet, not without serious risk.
