My original, editorialized title: Ars Technica Sells Out

Linking to this because I know people here read Ars Technica, and I totally didn't become a subscriber three days before this was announced. Nope. No sir.

I am going to stop reading them myself.

It’s not so much ideological than practical, I simply don’t have the time to fact check them, or figure out which are the real articles and which are the AI ones, etc etc

That’s not what’s happening. The AI is ingesting the human made content (articles and comments). It isn’t writing any of the content of the site. I’m just going to cancel my subscription if they don’t give me a means to opt out of my comments feeding ChatGPT

Thanks for describing it, I misread the first sentence.

Still, it’s AI creeping into their news. Even if it does change the content now, first step leads to a second step later. And that may not be noticed by me

Best to just train myself to not use them now
