This would have been some Photoshop 101 shit.

Why has everyone forgotten how to manually manipulate photos?

The AI version is obviously not better.

    It was probably quicker to ask an AI to edit it than to make the edit personally and the writers for these sites are paid very little to churn out multiple low effort articles a day

    Any amount above $0.00 is WAY TOO much money to pay these "writers" to spend half-an hour a week hitting CTRL+X and CRTL+V.

    Well someone needs to prompt the AI, find reddit articles to copy and make sure the final article has all the SEO to make it show up in searches to earn the company ad revenue. The high ups at Valent aren't going to do the dirty work and underpaying someone to be a writer also allows them to shift some of the blame should there be a major issue with an article.

    The first sentence of Valent's about page says "Valnet was founded in 2012 by builders with […] an obsession with scale." Based on this I'm sure that at some point in their constant acquisition and gutting of known brands they will try or have tried having AI make and publish the articles directly, but I also feel like people are more likely to stop visiting a site where the content is directly from an LLM than one that has human written/edited articles with heavy LLM involvement.

    The "6 finger thing" has also been mostly trained out of modern models and it's such an old meme it's the first thing anyone looks for in any sort of review.

    Not only can they not photoshop, they can't even AI properly.

    That or the 6 fingers were a deliberate choice. Trying to associate palworld with AI and therefore copyright infringement?

    Because we're now talking about it, and they're getting more clicks/interactions because of it. AI does the work in a fraction of the time, with the added benefit of being rage-bait.
