summarization through generative-AI

I have found summarization through generative-AI to produce plausible results. For example, here is a truncated set of chapter summaries from Jane Austen's Emma:

  * austen-emma_001 -- Emma Woodhouse and Miss Taylor had been
    friends for 16 years. Miss Taylor died and Emma's friend, Mrs.
    Weston, got married. Emma was sad to see Miss Taylor leave the
    house. Emma's father and her father-in-law had problems with
    their relationship.
  
  * austen-emma_002 -- Mr. Weston was a native of Highbury, born of
    a respectable family. He married Miss Churchill, of a great
    Yorkshire family, and they had a son, Frank. Frank was adopted by
    Mr. and Mrs. Churchill. Mr. Weston had a change of life and
    settled in London. He made his fortune and bought his house. He
    had a second wife, Miss Taylor.
  
  * austen-emma_003 -- Mr. Woodhouse liked to have his friends come
    and see him. His friends came from Highbury, including the
    Westons, Mr. Knightley, Miss Bates, and Mrs. Goddard. Mrs. Bates
    lived with her single daughter in Highbury and was well-liked.
