      For me it is not only that they used AI for the writing, is that they did not care to review/recheck/polishing it before releasing it to the public, so my effort in consuming it will be reciprocal

      Oh so you want them to do all that and gather all the data and do it themselves for free? What a dumb comment.

      I’ve run a honeypot for the last month and the data is near-identical to this. It’s definitely credible.

        Near-identical doesn’t make it valuable. Plausible but incorrect is still incorrect. AI creates plausible and credible but incorrect data.

        The plausibility and credibility is like a honeypot for your confidence. You read it, and understand it, and come to believe it. But it was false all along. You think you learned things. You actually learned nothing.

        Yes, that is what 90% of the internet has been about since it became a thing. Doing everything for profit turns everything into shit.

        I initially disagreed but after actually reading the post, I’m with you. If it was only the article’s text that was generated and not the data or graphs then I don’t see why the whole thing would be written off. I mean, it’s really sad seeing people offload their writing to AI but I still found it interesting.
