And therefore it's impossible to test the accuracy if it's consuming your own data. AI can hallucinate on any data you feed it, and it's been proven that it doesn't summarize, but rather abridges and abbreviates data.

In the authors example

Maybe that's a pattern from 50 one-on-ones. Or maybe it's only in the first two and the last one.

I'd be wary of using AI to summarize like this and expecting accurate insights
