Reading the article, it almost sounds like AI’s involvement is incidental?

I think it’s a case of some dumb fuck MBA not knowing the difference between an API and AGI.

Seems like some kind of SEO scheme to me. I’ve come across these “articles” by chance a few times. It’s a shame how far the site’s fallen, but that’s been obvious since 2016.

It seems like media execs are treating AI more as a cost-cutting tool than an enhancement. The tech just isn't advanced enough yet to fully replace human writing and editing. As a reader, I find these AI-generated articles pretty hollow. I'd rather wait longer between human-written pieces than get AI filler daily.
