From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

It was inevitable that someone would try to use AI like this to make certain jobs obsolete. Sites with content like this will manipulate Google's already garbage algorithms to make it a self-consuming snake.
The only way out is to continue to encourage thoughtful discussions from thoughtful articles. AI could certainly help with information, but perspective and insight is an inherently human trait that will tune people out.
And I just unsubscribed from the Escapist and Destructoid RSS feeds. What a bummer. Thanks for the heads up!
Eh, not as big of a deal as people think. You've probably already read lots of AI generated content without even realising it
I often do notice it, although I sometimes wonder if people might be this stupid in real life or not.
Fair, but how about the stuff you didn't notice? You'd never know. College professors are being tricked everyday.
Kinda hard to prove a negative, right?
How would you know if you didn't notice? Could be dozens but could just as well be 0.
So... these sites are all just random text generators now? What's the point?
They just want to capture the person coming in off of a search platform looking for something in a game. It's all about the clicks.
I was curious about some stuff in Elden Ring, and every search I did had shitty, obviously SE optimized bullshit for at least the first 10-15 results. Well fuck that, I'll just read the also bullshit SE optimized wiki because I can at least keep the adblockers on and the scripts off and wade through the crap.
Cheaper to produce clickbaity articles. Most of these websites are already just trash "articles" made for clicks
.
I hope the new EU legislation regarding AI also covers this type of things.
More help from companies on letting me know the websites to stay away from. This isn't the first time DToid did stupid crap. Back on Justin.tv, maybe they had converted to Twitch already, they had a BUNCH of streamers that were ruling the platform, then they said that their streamers would have to review and give positive reviews of sponsored games. All the streamers left the group and Dtoid lost a TON of traction and Twitch exploded from Justin.TV.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but ai editor implies the writer will remain and they're using ai ton "fix" the article and write the headline. Isn't that one of the main responsibilities of an editor?
I think it's the other way round. AI writes, the human editor touches things up a little, and together they poop out hundreds of low effort articles a week.
