Or make it worse, because it completely normalises the practice of foisting long revisions on people at the last minute "you had plenty of time to understand it; my computer read it in seconds!" and encourages people rely more on tooling than dividing reading text between themselves and people they trust who (unlike GPT) have a shared interest in achieving particular goals and protecting particular parties.
From what we've seen current gen summarising tools aren't particularly accurate at summarising legal documents, never mind highlighting stuff which is politically sensitive, and that's before we get into clauses inserted adversarially by entities who have the same tools to test whether GPT summaries pick them up
