Let’s just hope the “ecosystem” doesn’t involve an expensive subscription.
It will almost definitely have a list of “supported books”. That’s the only way they could be generating summaries unless they’re having the user take pictures of each page.

If I’m reading a book, to warrant the need for a bookmark to begin with… Why the fuck would I want an AI summary of what I’m already reading?

It will make it easier to say you have read all those books on the shelves, making yourself more interesting as a person because you read so much. At that point you can just lord your superior intellectualism over the unread masses. That will of course make you a better person and more valued by society and surely will be saved from the camps because you read Jane Eyre and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
All you would have to worry about is talking to someone who actually has read all those books and you can’t hold a conversation about an important aspect of it, thus exposing your fraud, leading to you having to dispose of a body to maintain your fragile ego; but that is just how reading goes sometimes.

You joke, but reading the article, that’s exactly what it’s for.

I think it could be interesting to see the summary up to the point I stopped in the book in case I forgot where I left off.

I assumed you’d use it for a quick recap when you go back to it later. Like a “previously on” type thing.
