This is fucking gross. There’s no one who thinks people will read the mass shit they pump out.
A lot of sites like these are already just click farms with “articles” consisting of a headline and a couple poorly-researched sentences. Switching to AI probably won’t significantly change the quality of what they’re churning out.
Right. That’s why searching for anything on the internet SUCKS these days. The results are all just filler bullshit.
