apparently they’re gonna “wholesale” their “content” to OTHER distributors, but i can’t figure out where that content will originate since vice will be laying off hundreds of staffers ... maybe AI-genned garbage: cheap but worthless ...
“maybe AI-genned garbage: cheap but worthless ...”
I’ll bet you are right about that.
You can sure tell AI garbage, too. Just this morning, I was researching engine blocks, closed deck vs open deck. I found one excellent, factual, concise, insightful, well-organized, and non-repetitive article obviously written by an expert human.
Then I found another one that felt like it was written by a second grader, repetitive, full of superlatives, little technical content and annoying phrases; it was all just gloss and lots of useless filler. It would really be a challenge for a human to write that badly.
AI written articles are NOT ready for prime time. Maybe in 20 years. But they are pushing the crap on us way before its ready, just like EVs, windmill, and solar.
