My wife loves to carpet bomb messages and the summary is often useful to glance at to see how important they are. But the inaccuracy prevents it from being useful and I'll often open the entire stream of thought even though I don't have time between meetings.

That sounds like AI is a band-aid for Apple's self-inflicted problem caused by designing notifications as a dumb list of boxes limited to a couple of lines.

They could have merged the last few recent short messages into one bigger notification, instead of making the notification for the very last message cover the rest.
