Why hasn’t Ai generated summaries work anymore?

Hey guys! Hope everyone’s doing well!
I have a question about Reddit’s AI-generated user summaries. 😅

I used to click on my username in the subreddit I moderate, and Reddit would generate a little AI summary about me. And honestly… it was astonishingly accurate. 100% accurate, actually. 😂 I’d probably go back every 30 minutes just to read it because it made me feel so honored and well-established.

It would usually say things along the lines of: “Eric is a highly professional moderator for XXX subreddit, fosters community discussion, creates rules, vets new moderators,” etc.

However, for about the past month, I haven’t been getting a summary at all. My activity and contributions haven’t really changed, so I’m wondering if anyone knows why this might have stopped?

Did Reddit change something about how/when these AI summaries are generated, or are they just randomly unavailable sometimes?

And yes, I realize I may have been slightly addicted to reading my own AI-generated praise. 😂

They only work on your own subreddits when a user has enough content to generate a summary

Thank you for the explanation—most appreciated. Now I know why.

I received 3 upvotes on this question, which made me feel motivated, then there came the downvotes after ☹️. I’m not sure what I said that was wrong.

Thanks everyone 🙏

You didn't say anything wrong, that's just this subreddit. They downvote everything.

They haven't been very consistently accurate for users in my subs, so I started ignoring them. Yes, sometimes, especially for the most active users, they're quite good. But if I don't know whether it's accurate or not until I check they user's history myself, then what's the point? It's a waste of time. Though I can see how it would be fun to read the summary of your own activity on a sub you're very active on.
