so there are some blogs posting “news” about each USA sports league. NOT ONE ARTICLE is signed by a writer. the latest offender is a site called RawChili. they are part of a trend of blogs not only without bloggers, but the fucking trend of not DATING the articles. hate that.

I just realized that a lot of the same people complaining about #AI were the same people that were complaining about #Uber.
Uber is not your friend, but the #taxi companies also weren't your friend.
AI is not your friend, but #ContentMills are also not your friend.
What you are is an #ignorant #technophobe, not even able to be elevated to #luddite.
#Luddites knew exactly how their machines worked, and broke them because the machines weren't working for them.
The critique of Uber was stanning for #exploitative #Rentier #Capitalist who'd already so thoroughly engaged in #RegulatoryCapture that their #monopoly had become part of the background.

Part of why I've been so depressed lately is seeing all the #scammers and #spammers, who instead of using advances in #AI technology to benefit humanity are using it to unfairly enrich themselves with automated #ContentMills. I'm sure this is happening on all online platforms, not just #YouTube; I've seen it on my blog host @medium as well.
Reporting and enforcing is like playing whack-a-mole. I wish people would just suck less.

Great deep dive from @Hbomberguy on #plagiarism on #YouTube which highlights #ContentMills presenting other people's content as their own: https://youtu.be/yDp3cB5fHXQ
There's a lot of overlap between this plagiarism and the content mills adopting #LLMs / #ChatGPT. What's jarring about services like ChatGPT is that they remove the *possibility* of knowing what sources are being plagiarised, hiding all the effort that humans put into sourcing information and crafting descriptions in the first place.
