chatgpt is so fucking funny. i give it some basic facts about the event, ask for five paragraphs of a "good SEO" article titled "What time is the Super Bowl?" and boy howdy does it deliver the most soulless, boring prose imaginable.

included under the cut. beautiful stuff.

they mean "it writes in the same soulless mode that humans do when they need to hit a word count without saying anything"

You know how in CSI, they'll start with a blurry photograph with two pixels, and then someone will say "Enhance!" and it will add detail so they can zoom into the reflection on a speck of fly poop?

That's what this feels like. We started with "Suber bowl 6 thirty" written on a post-it note, and then someone said "Enhance!" six or seven times and now we're zoomed into the post-it note so far we can see Andy Reid's playbook reflected off of the moon.

oh my god it's gonna take are jobs Edit: this reads like a weird high school writing assignment where the student has fully internalized corporate marketing cringe. Not really worried about an AI uprising because if this thing ever becomes self aware it's probably just going to implode after seeing these.

This reads like every goddamn seven-paragraph, ad-laden SEO mess you get in response to searching the answer to literally any question.

Which makes me think all of the trash "news" sites were either already using LLMs, or that ChatGPT is about to put a whole lot of $2-per-article gig worker writers out of business.

Marketing consultants push this crap so hard, everyone thinks their company needs a blog that no one will read just so that Google might rank them higher. They never focus on creating products or content that actually draws people to the site.

I am actually terrified at the amount of garbage content being generated with these technologies.
