Not even close. Maybe you could find something like that in the last 1/6th of the article.

This summary would neglect the discussion on Taiwan's history, how TSMC convinced US to offshore it's fabs, the trust that went into this, the geopolitical position it and TSMC hold, talk of UMC. Not including all the interesting little details

Another take:

> The article is an opinion piece where the author reflects on her visit to the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) semiconductor factory in Taiwan. She describes the factory's massive scale and advanced technology and compares it to a religious experience, calling it a "secular cathedral". The author notes the incredible amount of human ingenuity and effort that goes into producing semiconductors and suggests that the factory's operations and technology have a spiritual significance in modern society. She concludes by arguing that the TSMC factory embodies humanity's creative and innovative potential.

ChatGPT can’t fetch URLs, right? Is this just extrapolation based on the title, or did you paste the article into chat?

Just the URL, but it says it can read it.

> can you summarize an article from a url

> Yes, I can summarize an article from a URL. Please provide me with the URL of the article you would like me to summarize.

Funny, it seems to be making it up, when I ask to provide a quote for the first sentence or the last paragraph, it provides gibberish.

> you can't read url-s can't you?

> As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to view or access URLs, so I rely solely on the information that you provide me.

So you're absolutely right, it fooled me.
