In my experience, LLMs aren't really that good at summarizing

It's more like they can "rewrite more concisely" which is a bit different

Summarizing requires understanding what's important, and LLMs don't "understand" anything.

They can reduce word counts, and they have some statistical models that can tell them which words are fillers. But, the hilarious state of Apple Intelligence shows how frequently that breaks.
