    The sad thing is that it almost certainly isn’t. The spelling mistakes that were made aren’t characteristic of AI generated blurbs which means they paid someone to write this lol.

      Yeah this type of “thing in Reddit happens…” articles have been going on for a long time, ever since it took off. It’s what drove me off traditional media and into reddit in the first place, so many articles were “Redditor does this” “Redditor discovers that” that I eventually was like fuck it why wouldn’t I just go to the source of all of this lol

        Are you suggesting someone instructed an AI to write an article with typos? Wtf purpose would that serve?

        “Write the article in the style of a junior high student” probably gets close enough to be believable, who needs an editor!

          Yes there is. It clearly creates doubt as to whether it was generated. As exemplified by the discussion you’re commenting to. Bold to come on and just … say something already demonstrated as wrong…

          Can you not even understand what’s happening in front of your own face?
