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.

    Those AIs are more like intentional cyberweapons turned into eldritch horrors (leftover from one of the apocalypses that have happened in the timeline) than just nonsense factories trying to get ad money. Elsewhere, however, there's a reference (I think on the radio) to an "AI author" that's supposed to be award winning and extremely prolific, including a blurb and summary to convey to the player that it's clearly just generating nonsense, so your point about how even their attempts to satirize what was clearly coming fail to be as shitty and absurd as the reality is dead on and something I've thought about myself too.

    Another place they fall short is advertising: there's less of it and it's less intrusive than real advertising. Although that's honestly not surprising: the artists and writers they had could only devote so much time to making awful memetic spores, and had concerns like "style" and "humor" to think about, whereas real advertising has large dedicated teams working round the clock to churn out the most heinous and infectious memetic spores imaginable.
