On January, 3, 2026, Telegram messenger, which I use a lot, introduced AI Summaries [1] for all posts after January, 3, 2026 with no way to switch them off; neither for the readers nor for channel admins.

I find it unacceptable and filed a bug report about that (marking that as an issue; not feature request, which in my view it is), requesting for this feature to be opt-in.

But you worded it as a suggestion.

Er, do you think that's a poor choice?

What's done is done; but I was pissed and am not a native English speaker, so I asked LLM to reword what I wanted to say in a polite and proper way, so that as many people as possible could support it.

Is it ok?

Yes, a poor choice for a bug report.

A classic stocastic parrot fail. It is trained on polite suggestions and less polite bug reports.
