That's how you know BuzzFeed is low effort, low impact content. Wouldn't that be virtually their entire writing staff? BuzzFeed is trash. Fuck them.

No. It took a long time for AI to learn how to write articles dumb enough for buzzfeed.

No reason to expect this to work out any different from CNET's experiment: with plagiarism on a massive scale

Makes sense...no way they'll stay profitable (assuming they even are) paying people to write for the garbage they put out.

Interesting that when people were warning of automation and AI taking jobs years ago, no one said anything about the arts. It was all focused on other workforces

Buzzfeed "journalists" don't create any kind of "art".

AI is still a really long way away from replacing visual arts. The stuff we have now is remarkable progress but it's not enough to truly replace a skilled artist.

Still pretty true. LLMs don't do what people think they do. They are convincing bullshit generators and plagiarizers. Take a lot of human intervention "produce" anything.

Yeah it seems to be used as a "guide" or framework.
