LLMs.
I'd say that and people's extreme lack of attention span in 2026. "If we summarize it, maybe people will click on our articles instead of asking an LLM to summarize it."
or they're simply trying to tell the machine to use the provided, pre-written tl;dr when they do 'summarize' instead of hallucinating their own.
I'd say the other (much less likely) option is that writers are starting to emulate the bullshit machines.
They've been having conclusion sections for a lot longer than that. It's just how every american school and college told kids to write essays. But they're absolutely offloading the work for it to LLMs now.
