Why "concise" worries me in an AI summary

The word "concise" in an AI summary is a flag for me. Casey Hawkins put it first: "I want the conversation recap, but this is potentially dangerous. Like concise." The word concise there scares me too.

When I learn with AI, I use words like "comprehensive" so it doesn't go concise, "which it will." And almost always, unless you've done a bunch of configuration elsewhere, "it's going to miss stuff."

Before you trust a summary, ask what it left out, not only what it says.
