I couldn’t be bothered to read the article, so I got ChatGPT to summarise it. Apparently there’s nothing to worry about.

Clickbait titles suck
Something bizarre is happening to media organizations that use 'clicks' as a core metric.
It depends: are you in Soviet Russia ?
In the US, so as of 1/20/25, sadly yes.
Its too bad that some people seem to not comprehend all chatgpt is doing is word prediction. All it knows is which next word fits best based on the words before it. To call it AI is an insult to AI... we used to call OCR AI, now we know better.
LLM is a subset of ML, which is a subset of AI.
That is peak clickbait, bravo.
Do you guys remember when internet was the thing and everybody was like: "Look, those dumb fucks just putting everything online" and now is: "Look at this weird motherfucker that don't post anything online"
Remember when people used to say and believe "Don't believe everything you read on the internet?"
I miss those days.
I remember when internet was a place
I'm trying to get back to that. Actually close to it now than I was 5 years ago, so that's cool

I remember when the Internet was a thing people went on and/or visited/surfed, but not something you'd imagine having 247.

Negative IQ points?
Not a lot of meat on this article, but yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that those who seek automated tools to define their own thoughts and feelings become dependent. If one is so incapable of mapping out ones thoughts and putting them to written word, its natural they'd seek ease and comfort with the "good enough" (fucking shitty as hell) output of a bot.

chatbots and ai are just dumber 1990s search engines.
I remember 90s search engines. AltaVista was pretty ok a t searching the small web that existed, but I'm pretty sure I can get better answers from the LLMs tied to Kagi search.
AltaVista also got blown out of the water by google(back when it was just a search engine), and that was in the 00s not the 90s. 25 to 35 years ago is a long time, search is so so much better these days(or worse if you use a "search" engine like Google now).
Don't be the product.

i can feel it too when I use it. that is why i use it only for trivial things if at all.
I mean, I stopped in the middle of the grocery store and used it to choose best frozen chicken tenders brand to put in my air fryer. …I am ok though. Yeah.
That's... Impressively braindead
That’s the joke!
