Saw this article posted earlier by someone, and I'm going to say the same thing: Sus source, article reads like an AI generated one.
I mean it’s Exputer, do they even have human writers?
I have no idea, I'm not familiar with this site at all. Another candidate for a ban?
I don't want to get too ban happy on any site we think may be primarily AI generated. GamesCensor was pretty easy for me to tell, especially with the misquotes. Idk if there are any reliable tools out there for detecting stuff like this, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled.
There are no tools for reliably detecting the presence or absence of AI writing. But also, I’m just fine with banning sites because they are terrible. There is no requirement to promote garbage sites (and increasing their revenue and SEO by affording them an air of legitimacy) just because they haven’t been caught doing anything particularly egregious. At best, give them a six month timeout or something in case they eventually get their shit together.
Respectfully, this handling of garbage websites like they are actually journalistic endeavors is what confuses certain folks about what news can be trusted and what can’t. Now those folks can’t tell the difference between antivax, flat earth, and respected quality news. I mean I’m not holding you personally responsible or anything of course, but I’m just saying this presumption that low quality content has some kind of right to be shared and promoted needs to be looked at just as carefully as a decision to ban any particular site.
That's a great take.
Also, most of the comments seem to be commentating on the headlines. If they bothered to click through and read, I think they'd feel more disgusted with the article than Star Citizen itself. xD
Not in a position to say. But I can say that, anecdotally, they’re always high on searches and contribute very little.
