Google researchers have come out with a new paper that warns that generative AI is ruining vast swaths of the internet with fake content — which is painfully ironic because Google has been hard at work pushing the same technology to its enormous user base.

Facebook: “Hold my beer. I’ll show you who’s the real cancer of the internet.”

I think twitter took the throne

I disagree, you can completely avoid both FB and Twitter. You’re not going to find any valuable info on either, except maybe some cutting edge current event things on Twitter. If either of them were completely wiped tomorrow my life would be unchanged.

Google on the other hand used to be a great resource for finding good info, but that’s ruined and getting worse as we speak. I’d argue its decline is significantly more impactful than what’s happened to FB/Twitter. It impacts me on a daily basis.

Ok yeah, I think you're right. Plus Google is everywhere
