AI is going to fuck up everything we’ve ever done.

We fucked it up on our own with SEO long before chatgpt came along. Google has been going downhill for years as people learn to game the algorithm.

It will speed it along sure, but the core problem is that is profitable to dump garbage on the internet and put ads on it. The monitozation is the root of this.

Is this really 2024? I felt myself in 2004 for a moment.

This is basic math, articles are written in one language but there are lots of languages they can be translated into so if a site written in English has a Spanish, french, and Portuguese version 75% of that counts as ai translated garbage - because apparently having stuff available to non English speakers is a bad thing now?

As for 'poorly' What's their mechanism for determinng it? How much is well translated or are they just assuming it's poor because it's possible it could be? Likewise what percentage is human translated and how do they determine that? Or is it another assumption to fit their narrative?

Clickbait doomer nonsence.

People who actually read the article don't need to ask questions that were answered in the cited source.

Anyway....

So it is just over extrapolated junk that doesn't add anything to anything, good to know.

Well you read the article, but didn't comprehend it.

If you can show me in this comment section where I commented on my understanding, that would be appreciated.

Oh wait. That's right, I didn't.

Nice alt.
