    I have also seen it used as the indicator for a summary like I have done below. As in the person knows what they wrote was too long for some people so here is a short version too. Similarly I have seen TL;DW to indicate a video summary.

    TL;DR - Sometimes it’s used by OP.

      it’s true (honestly what you said is what i’ve seen the most), and i’ve seen it as a way to ask for a summary as well (replying to a long post with “tl;dr?”)

      but i don’t really see both of those as relevant to ai;dr tbh, so i didn’t mention them

      Or someone will ask for a tl;dr

      Here I thought in OP’s case, they were requesting an ai summary.
