Hacker News.

Author blog about that.

AI generated quotes in a story about AI clanker writing a blog post about a human developer because they didn’t accept their code contributions.

How deep can someone go here.

    I pointed out a month ago that Ars Technica is a rot site and starting to be filled with AI regurgitated bullshit and got 80+ down votes and a few uneducated replies.

    Y’all feel better now?

      No, the issue we are talking about today and calling Ars an “internet rot site” is a huge leap. Yeah, they post shit articles from Wired and such, (they are owned by Conde Nast), but their core writers are still great and have plenty of good articles.

      You want credit for what? Over exaggerating an issue then whining about it?

      You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and then spitting on the baby. It makes no sense.
