Quoting: ChloeWolfieGirlSo weird to see backlash over features like this, I don't use these kinds of tools, but this is a feature that'd at least make me interested.

There's many reasons for the backlash. While some people just jump on the "AI bad" side of the discourse, there is also the issue of the validity of the summary (an extremely weak point of LLM-based reviews that most people gloss over), and the issue of putting a very large summary in front of the actual reviews. Some people enjoy writing these and try to make these interesting; there is less enjoyment for them if they try to write something insightful just to feed a machine that will output bullet points.

I know *I* will not bother too much with game reviews on Steam from now on for that reason.

The new default settings to have this collapsed mostly avoid this issue, and people that still wants it regardless can open it once (the extension remembers the last state). It can make a good difference, because some people just assumed that this was a new integral part of the review system and stopped there without questions.

Quoting: ChloeWolfieGirlHowever Amazon also has an AI thing that summarizes reviews, and I find it really useful.

How do you know if the review summary matches the reviews? That's the issue with AI summaries. They can be good if you're familiar with the topic at hand (a summary at the end of a meeting you've taken part in). They are terrible if you're not (like the non-proofread summary of a meeting the reader have not taken part in).
