(Un?) Holy Crap....

[CharlesEBrown]

Just saw an article on Substack about an actual article that appeared in several national Newspapers over the past weekend, listing a bunch of books for summer reading.
The problem? First, the article itself was written ENTIRELY by AI, and second, though some of the titles and authors are real, none of them match up - not one. And the books described all have AI mangled descriptions...
If people think WE have a problem with "AI slop" ... we're just the tip of the freaking iceberg!

ENTIRELY by AI,

Hahaha, classic.

le sigh the state of my profession brings a pain in my chest.

I wish "bylines" are a bigger thing.

And I thought AI just getting better and better after all these years.

Problem isn't that this or that is AI generated though...

Problem is that the large corporation and their board members think they could use to cut the human labour and thus maximize profit while the technology to automatize the economy isn't even remotely here.

It is somewhat ironic that the easiest to replace are journalists, considering their massive salaries combined with the zero responsibility for providing any factually correct information.
