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.

Useful AI will be focused and narrow unless they actually achieve AGI.

Scraping literally the whole internet for inspiration is part of the reason they come up with utter rubbish. No one's actually scrutinizing what their ingesting. It's not so much a problem that they violate copyright it's more an issue that because they do it in this manner their output is garbage.

If these AI companies actually did some content curation we might get decent AI out of it.
