>> The thing that AI is best at is summarizing vast quantities of information

by definition a summary is the best at nothing though, and the mentality that the best way to rule is from a single summarized interpretation is both flawed and scary. It's not answering all questions; it's attempting to provide a single summation dramatically influenced by training. Go ahead and incorporate this into your balanced and multi-perspective decision-making process, but "one tool to rule them all" is not the same thing and definitely not what we're getting.

"If all you have is an LLM, every problem looks like summarizing information."

Emphasis on looks like ;-)

Very much agree. This reminded me of Project Cybersyn [1], an attempt by socialist Chile to build a central heavily-computerized room that would summarize their entire economy to a few men literally pushing the buttons. Complete with 70s aesthetics and Star Trek TOS feel.
