As I understand the OP's proposal it is not about summarising what's in front of you, it's about exploring phrases, ideas, and concepts used within the text.
Example: The AU PM has been using the catchphrase "progressive patriotism" and it's been bandied about in the media without much 'exploration' of what he is talking about.
I put this to ChatGPT "What is 'progressive patriotism', where did it originate, what are its foundations?"
Amongst other things it lead me to newspaper articles by Virginia Woolf, J.B. Priestley and Orwell's - The Lion and the Unicorn - and Teddy Rooselvelt's Bull Moose Party.
And I now know where the AU PM got the phrase, an article in a 2022 AU literary magazine, probably via Katherine Murphy his erstwhile media czar.
