That is what humans are for!! Ask people!

There is no way a summary of these things fron an LLM has the correct context.

(not really frustrated at you, as much as where society is going)

That is not how it works because of how bloated everything is. There is rarely a movie, book or series lately that are not 2 times longer than needed. So you are forced to go for aggressive recaps.

Most of the non pulp books published - contain at least two times as many pages as needed for the story or narrative.

The information density in the modern world is absurdly low.

Yes, I agree on modern trends for that. There are some modern authors not too bad in that respect, but it may be why I find older sci-fi books more appealing.
