I was looking for information on insect vision for a report I'm writing and came across an internet article. The first thing I noticed is that there was a picture under the header that the article called a mantis, but the anatomy was all wrong. It was covered in ocelli, for one.

Then I started reading, and as someone that has used chat GPT before... Yeah it was clearly written by an algorithm...

This is the site. https://healingpicks.com/

Look at the pics closely and you'll see they're messed up.

How long until the whole internet is just this shit? This is why there needs to be rules and shit about this, I don't care if it stifles the 'entrepreneurial spirit' of AI or whatever. The droves of lazy copy and paste style news and 'top ten' sites were already bad enough, but this shit is bringing the internet to a new low in quality.

I can't wait until this shit is banned by China or something.

    I can't wait until it snowballs into itself and AI is using AI generated text for its own models and gets shittier.

    The internet is going to be useless lol. I should learn how to read/find real books in a library to find info.

      I'm told this is already a problem for LLM model training. There's so much algorithmicallyl generated garbage now that they can't scrape the internet for training sets without feeding garbage in to the garbage machine and getting even noisier garbage out.

        I had a gig for awhile training LLM models for exactly this reason. They wanted human made content to train the models with. Problem is, many of the human trainers are using ChatGPT to get the work done faster. So even the companies going out of their way to avoid using shit content, are using shit content.

        Utter trash can and has made lots of money by just churning out as much pandering slop as can be fit between book covers, targeting some demographic that's hungry for that slop. It's how Ready Player One and Twilight were so lucrative.

        That means that at least some LLM slop is likely to be lucrative amid the sea of also-rans.
