I’m not sure if that article is just bad or playing some sort of 4D chess such that it sounds AI written to prove its point.
Either way, for a dive into a closely related topic, one that is obviously written by an actual human, I humbly submit my own case study on how Googles ad monopoly is directly responsible for ruining the Internet. I posted it here a week ago or so, but here it is in case you missed it and this post left you wanting.
“AI taking over creativity? Seriously? This whole AI hype is just killing the soul of art and expression. Yeah, sure, it can mimic famous artists or churn out music, but it’s like a robot trying to dance - technically perfect but utterly devoid of soul.
Remember when art was about the struggle, the human experience, and raw emotion? Now it’s all about algorithms and data. We’re trading the genuine human touch for artificial perfection, and it’s a tragedy.
And don’t even get me started on those algorithms that personalize everything for us. They’ve turned the internet into an echo chamber where we’re only fed what we already like. How are we supposed to discover new and groundbreaking ideas when AI keeps us in this cozy little bubble?
Sure, AI can assist in some creative tasks, but we’re at risk of losing the very essence of creativity in the process. We need to keep our creative skills sharp, not let AI do all the heavy lifting. Let’s remember that art and creativity are about the human experience, not just the end product.”
—ChatGPT, Just Now, Prompt: “Write a criticism of AI taking over creativity in the style of a Reddit comment”
It’s (perhaps accidentally) a demonstration of the point - could be a few sentences but Google demands filler.
Ever try to look up a recipe lately? The actual ingredients and instructions will be halfway inside 10 or more pages worth of fluff. That’s not in any way an exaggeration - most of them now have a “jump to recipe” link near the top so it’s feasible to find it on the webpage.
I really hate how SEO (and the search algorithm it is bending to) is ruining the web.
This is fucking awful. The entire internet is like this. I needed a program to fix mp4 files which were not concluded by a camera (died during recording). The search results were filled with bullshit articles written by companies who just happen to sell data recovery software. Their software didnt even work.
After an hour of frustration I found untrunc. Its free, small, open source and just works. Should be the top result.
