The human touch

Terry Freedman reports that "I've been experimenting a lot with using AI, especially for summarising long documents," but complains that "the summaries lacked the human touch." In other words, "what they lacked was the depth and insight that a human expert can bring to the table." For example, a human might have "extracted the bits that were relevant to ICT teachers" where the AI might not. That sort of makes sense - the human summarizer (like me) is bringing background and context to the summary, which informs its creation and makes it more relevant. I'm not sure that's a 'human' touch so much as it is the result of years of education that allows us a privileged perspective.
