Yes, there are some good reddit bots that can automatically summarize an article quite well.

These machines will only help readers after the article is finished. chrismealy however was asking for a machine helping the writer while the article is in writing. But I also think the question was meant a little sarcastic.

No, the author could run the summarise-bot, then use the results to focus the writing towards the salient points.

Sarcasm was certainly intended.
