This paper presents Out-of-Context Summarizer, a tool that takes arbitrary public news articles out of context by summarizing them to coherently fit either a liberal- or conservative-leaning agenda. The Out-of-Context Summarizer also suggests hashtag keywords to bolster the polarization of the summary, in case one is inclined to take it to Twitter, Parler or other platforms for trolling. Out-of-Context Summarizer achieved 79 summarizing COVID-19 articles, 93 politically-centered articles, and 87 liberally-biased articles out of context. Summarizing valid sources instead of synthesizing fake text, the Out-of-Context Summarizer could fairly pass the "adversarial disclosure" test, but we didn't take this easy route in our paper. Instead, we used the Out-of-Context Summarizer to push the debate of potential misuse of automated text generation beyond the boilerplate text of responsible disclosure of adversarial language models.
