While this is an issue, there are more than a few “non-profits” that have come into existence in the past 5 to 10 years that are “saving the world by planting millions of acres of trees”.

In high school, we wasted time in the computer lab playing Doom. We didn't know what a "null modem cable" was, but a bunch of us had one and knew we needed one to play multiplayer Doom.
Neil Newbon, the voice actor for Astarion in BG3, spoke in the past about how his face wasn’t a Hollywood face.
This is Hollywood demanding standards so strict and unusual that it borders on bigotry. His face looks fine, and a helluva lot more chiseled than mine.
It's like when nobody considered casting an actor with dwarfism in a normal role, and then Peter Dinklage started appearing everywhere. But, Hollywood kinda forgot what that meant and didn't bother to repeat that with other actors with dwarfism.
This is why people still accuse Hollywood of racism and sexism. (Because it's still true...)
Now, be the humanoid spider you want to be and install all six of them on your six legs.
This is good ammo for the fight for Net Neutrality, honestly.
Just don't piss off the other mouse.
Also, they still break the law and ask the question: "What the fuck are you going to do about it? Sue us?"
And he said this in the 80s, when AI as we know it today was barely a concept.
Deep Mind is actually delivering shit like an estimate of the entire human proteome structure and creating the transcendently greatest go player of all time.
Not to mention the huge advances in Chess AI. LeelaChessZero is the open-source implementation of the original AlphaZero idea Google came out with, and is rivaling Stockfish 15. Meanwhile, Torch is a new AI being developed that is now kicking Stockfish's ass.
Grandmasters and notices alike are learning a lot from chess AI, figuring out better ways to improve themselves, either by playing them outright, using them for post-game analysis, or watching two bots play and see the kind of creative strategies they can come up with.
What about the video game? Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is arguably the best local multiplayer game ever, and it even had a ton of references to the comics that the movie never had.
If you click on the article, spend two seconds on it, and don't actually read it, have you actually fulfilled the marketing goals of the web site?
For one, you haven't actually read anything, so there's nothing to register "this is a good web site with good content and I will read their articles in the future". No reputation bump from it.
And two, you didn't have time to actually see the ads, that is, if you didn't already had an ad-blocker in the first place.
The goals of clickbait don't actually align with the goals of their profitability.
Zombies and MMOs, two concepts that were outdated at least 10 years ago.
