If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26+, the summary is created on your device using Apple Intelligence. On other devices with earlier iOS versions, the page text is sent securely to Mozilla cloud-based AI, which creates the summary and sends it back.
I'm not sure if those people would read the summary. I think that person is watching a video instead. But maybe it would be helpful for them, as you say. It would be far, far, better to invest in public education than AI slop, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.
edit: Also, most things have the most important bits in the opening paragraphs. Inverted pyramid and all that.
I completely agree, but sometimes info is only in article form, and mozilla can't run schools.
Also I wish the inverted pyramid model was still omnipresent, it feels like half the articles I read are meandering and don't spit out the most important info until it's mostly over.
That's probably because of advertising's dominance. If they can get you to scroll through the whole page that's so many more ad impressions! I wonder why original newspapers weren't so bad? Probably because you paid for it up front?
100% agree, the best news source I know of is Le Monde (I read it in french) and they charge upfront.
