Yeah, sure, the height and speed of the tsunami of bullshit have both grown by an order of magnitude. Not great!!! But that means we should double down on aggressively, effortfully attacking anything that worsens that further. That means **OPPOSING** a software system that by design will always lie

Since when was disallowing a system that operates on both plagiarism and fabrication a "hardline" position to hold when your ENTIRE PROFESSION sells itself as being against those 2 things??? That a huge proportion of journalists are relying on a lie machine suggests WE'RE NOT HARDLINE ENOUGH?!

How many journalists, for instance, are using Grammarly: a piece of software that ACTIVELY DEMANDS YOU INSERT FABRICATED QUOTES INTO YOUR ARTICLES I really really do not think there is any awareness of how their entire industry is voluntarily being turned to sand, from the inside out

Every excuse used here is really just post-hoc justification because someone took the absolutely filthy deal of convenience at the cost of accuracy and honesty "I just use it for ideas", "I get references but check them", "I use it to edit the text" etc: it decays your work so badly for everything

The fact that so many people who are churning out slop have to frantically row it back and pretend they just used it 'for guidance' or whatever shows that there is still active, material opposition to fakery out there, and consequences for doing it. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I do not get the impression there is a widespread understanding of how existential this is for mainstream journalism. But whatever, this is their choice. Please sign up for and support media that disallows plagiarism and fabrication in their reporting: bsky.app/profile/alex...
