Google researchers have come out with a new paper that warns that generative AI is ruining vast swaths of the internet with fake content.

Google researchers have come out with a new paper that warns that generative AI is ruining vast swaths of the internet with fake content — which is painfully ironic because Google has been hard at work pushing the same technology to its enormous user base.

    I disagree, you can completely avoid both FB and Twitter. You’re not going to find any valuable info on either, except maybe some cutting edge current event things on Twitter. If either of them were completely wiped tomorrow my life would be unchanged.

    Google on the other hand used to be a great resource for finding good info, but that’s ruined and getting worse as we speak. I’d argue its decline is significantly more impactful than what’s happened to FB/Twitter.

      That is a valid point. Google actually provides plenty of utility while also spying on everyone. However, Meta provides a little bit of something to some individuals, but mostly just a whole bunch of nothing to most people, while still spying on everyone.

      One of the most annoying thing are the restaurants that can’t be bothered to make a real website. Instead, they just think that making a FB page is good enough. I’ve even seen some pages that ask me to log in to check the opening hours of that restaurant. Well, what if i don’t even have a FB account? I guess, I’ll just walk to that other restaurant that actually has a proper website.
