Gizmodo is and has been the worst for a long time. In fact, that entire network of sites has been a rats nest of garbage for years. Unsurprising that they’d go this route.
I’ve dropped them from my newsfeed. If they’re just going to be writing AI summaries of what other sites have already published, and getting the facts wrong as a result, you’re literally better off reading nothing rather than read their articles, and trying to read them just encourages them because they’re still getting ad revenue.
If the quality of what is output by automation is crap, then, yes. And in this case, the quality is crap. Ergo…
I’ve no idea why this thread is so jumbled. Did comments get removed/moved?
I’m not talking about general LLM and translation. I’m speaking specifically about the garbage Gizmodo is pumping out with AI generated articles lacking factual credibility and translation being of poor quality. It doesn’t mean I’m a Luddite. It means I’m criticizing Gizmodo using poor quality tools to replace human beings who were doing the job well.
