wow, news headlines are going crazy...
FYI, “HR News” is outrage bait, LLM-generated blog slop that’s specifically crafted to get people to click on it to feel angry. As an example (that I’ll keep harping on about, because it’s proof positive):
“HR News” had an article whose headline said that there was a study quantifying the amount of LLM-generated “corporate troll” content on Reddit (something like “15%”?) The article even said the journal and year it was published. However, they never provided author names, identifiers, a link, the title of the article, a volume/page number, etc. After a lot of digging (exhausting every single article in that journal in that year and searching keywords just in case they somehow got the journal name wrong), it turns out they’d completely made the fucking thing up. The article never existed. The entire premise of the article (that I’ll refuse to call “news”, because it’s a fucking Substack/Medium blog) was fabricated.
Edit: Oh, wait, you’re the one who’s been spreading this poison around Lemmy. Fuck you, OP, you disingenuous sack of shit.
Edit 2: Okay, the headline was: “Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion”. And yes, the study did not exist. The claim was pulled out of thin air and confidently attributed to a nonexistent journal article.
