Sure, and if a chatbot can helpfully summarize factual content being gatekept in a Discord chat, then that's fantastic, but I don't think that's quite what I'm getting at. The internet has room for more than just an infinite queue of fact-seekers interacting with a bank of fact-repositories. Some writing (eg, poetry) is clearly art and the people who have created it are entitled to have a bit of say over how that art is consumed and under what regimes it is summarized/remixed. Or at least us as those consumers should have the discernment required to be able to say "this isn't authentic, let me seek out the original instead."
I'm not normally a purist on these things, but I'm recalling musical artists who bemoaned the destruction of the album format in favour of $0.99/track sales in the early days of the iTunes store. Concept albums in the vein of Sgt Peppers still exist of course, but almost every modern mainstream song is now prepared first and foremost to be listened to in isolation. I didn't care for those arguments at the time they were being made, but years later, I can appreciate how something was lost there and that it might have been appropriate to let artists specify that album X was to be sold only as an album.
