I don't understand this question. Book reviews are not summaries. And even they were, "why do people read books, instead of just reading summaries?" is still a ridiculous question.

It is ridiculous. That's the point. Same as suggesting people would stop reading books in favor of summaries written by AI

And indeed, 'review' was the wrong word to use, but I appreciate you understanding what I meant
