Keep the Reddit-slamming to appropriate fo--- wait. This is about OTHER junk websites with AI-generated text. Carry on.
Just let it burn. The internet has gone to shit anyway.
Exactly what I expected to happen with the rise of AI. I would laugh, but the completely senseless CO2 that this shit is causing is just sad.
Robots are making money from robots for humans. I don't see an issue.
I haven't played assassins creed odessey in quite a while and I googled how to get olive wood in the game quickly.
The first 3 sites were filled with garbage AI generated tips. Like it looked passable at first glance but only 1 of the 5 tips were even possible. They suggested I use an axe to cut down trees which isn't possible in the game at all. There was also a lot of repeating of the search phrase.
This is why I'm upset when I see everyone talking about leaving reddit and deleting their history.
I don't even search for things without "reddit" in the search terms because literally every site is garbage now and everything that shows up in the first page or two of Google is just SEO boosted garbage.
It's been this way for ages, though it was mechanical Turk created text and stolen content.
I don't really mind adverts, like when I see a creator I like doing a raid shadow legends bit I'm happy to see that they're making money from a shitty game rather than me having to pay.
And I know the established wisdom is that they track everything you do and say but honestly half my adverts are for things that make no sense to me like tampons and investment services, I really think them saying how well they know the user is just to get a advertiser money and isn't really as true as we fear. Not that I think it's a good thing but it's so trivial compared to everything else happening in the world Iv don't really care
