alt Hacker News> I though of pasting in Perplexity's summary, saying it was from Perplexity but that I had checked and it was a good summary.

The rule seems written to answer this directly.
Absolutely nobody cares what Perplexity has to say about the case - summary or otherwise. If you mention what the case is, I can ask claude myself if I’m interested.
Better yet, post a link to an authoritative source on the case (helpful but not required).
At minimum, verify your info via another source. The community deserves that much at least.
An AI-generated summary adds nothing positive and actually detracts from the conversation.
I did post a link to the Supreme Court's decision at Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute's archive of Supreme Court decisions.
I looked at the decision itself sufficiently to see that it was the case I remembered and that my recollection of the facts and the decision was correct.
I just didn't include a summary because I didn't find a good one I could link to. Normally I'd write a brief one myself but I found that hard to do when Perplexity's summary was sitting right there in the next window and it was embarrassingly better than what I would have written.
