This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

I looked up a guide and the top google result was an article obviously copy-pasted from ChatGPT full of disinformation and contradictions.

The problem isn't with AI content's quality. It's the fact that it's good at faking quality, which is more dangerous than just being low quality.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Those are just two voices in a chorus complaining that Google's latest "helpful content" update – which is meant to improve the quality of search results – has sent their websites tumbling down the rankings.

The tweak in wording actually reflects a change Google announced in February that it would promote AI-generated content in search so long as it's considered high quality.

Google Search advocate John Mueller spent the day trying to calm some website owners down, while explaining the goals of the company's recent update.

One comment stood out as an inadvertent condemnation of Google's own AI model efforts, which include pitching newsrooms on having its machines write stories automatically.

Picking out which AI-powered blog or image is better than another one, amongst thousands on the same subject — all automatically published within a few hours — will be a herculean task, even for a tech company as savvy as Google.

The tech publication 404 reported on Wednesday that a search for the Tiananmen Square "tank man" was recently returning an AI-generated version of the iconic image.
