i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

    This is one of the few cases where I think having an LLM bot straight up plagiarize an article is valid. They’re going out of their way to waste my time, so I’ll gladly have a bot lift the two sentences of the 20 paragraph article that actually answer the question.

    If they want ad revenue they can make articles for humans, or they can eat my entire ass.

      It’s often not up to publications but up to Google though. Finally Google is collapsing and taking all that spam with them.

      One of the main arguments against LLMs is that content creation on the web will dry up but 90% of content of the web is already inaccurate SEO garbage. Maybe accelerationists were right this time.
