"You know what's almost worse than something bad? People complaining about something bad."
Point still stands. It’s not going anywhere. And the literal hate and pure vitriol I’ve seen towards people on social media, even when they say “oh yeah; this is AI”, is unbelievable.
So many online groups have just become toxic shitholes because someone once or twice a week posts something AI generated

I don't know how this works under the hood but it seems like no matter how it works, it could be gamed quite easily.

I don't think anyone seriously believes the technology will categorically stop being used anytime soon. But then again we still keep using tech thats 50+ years old as it is.
Does this filter out traditional SEO blogfarms?
Yeah, might prefer AI-slop to marketing-slop.
All AI is doing is making it harder to know what is good information and what is slop, because it obscures the source, or people ignore the source links.
