reference sources.

Summarizer is ideal for condensing lengthy reading materials. However, it is vital to recognize that AI
cannot match human authors' inventiveness and emotional depth. While AI may be capable of
producing technically sound text, it is unlikely to have the distinctive perspective and personal touch
that distinguishes human writing. (Surviving in the Age of AI Writing, n.d.)
