First there were the journalists, who fully researched their material from first-hand sources. Then there were the bloggers who, without leaving their armchair, wrote opinion pieces based on whatever the journalists had written. Now there is AI, which apes the non-experience of the bloggers. Truly we are now living in a simulation of a simulation.

AI doesn’t have the capacity to think critically.

It looks like Bing has fixed it. The screenshot I took was my own. Originally seen here https://fedi.cpluspatch.com/objects/6dc3bee4-1ff0-4cae-8994-... . I wish I could have posted the link to this directly but it only shows up properly from a federated instance. It can't be viewed at the link above.

Original shows as follows when viewed within my mastadon timeline: https://imgur.com/a/DxAHOWG

If the example of journalists is anything to go by, soon both journalists and bloggers will produce content using exclusively AI.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The "dead internet" is here, and unfortunately there's no going back

It's intentional by design.

Design implies some kind of planning. I think it's a result of different companies making decisions that optimize for the short term.

been calling out the AI grift ever since chatgpt launched their stuff. Which I mean chatgpt and the LLM's are really cool and it was fun to mess around with but who the hell thought that this should ever go into any sort of actual product other than language comprehension related products?

Whoever ok'd this crap at Microsoft to get that big promo really just highlights why I'm never using a Microsoft product from teams to bing to azure.
