"Unkindness"

If you don't feel like reading 5 paragraphs of personal anecdotes.

Why is every article written like a fucking Martha Stewart recepie these days?

    The Parade AI Desk is not a human journalist, and it never publishes autonomously. Every article carrying the AI Desk byline is reviewed, fact-checked, edited, and approved by a human editor prior to publication.

    Never mind the 2 other "human" authors. I bet at least 80% of this is AI slop repeating what every living human on this earth already knows, generated for the sole purpose of amassing clicks and views for money.

    AI accounts for all blog posts nowadays that read like a Martha Stewart recipe because they were written by a soulless machine regurgitating a jumbled up concoction of human knowledge.

    I've been shown a video (against my will tbh) on how people make a living out of simply hosting a Blogger and asking AI to write and publish a 3-page minimum essay on whatever happens to be the most searched topic at that time. Because people (everybody, not just boomers) will inevitably click on that post at some point and read through. Some of the less digitally literate readers might click on sponsored links coming from Google adverts to get more information. I mourn the fact that the said information is so easily searchable and accessible, just as any of these AI-generated blogposts are, but they will still rely on heuristics and convenience at the cost of their own time and intelligence. These low-quality slop posts are all over the place because it's a '0 money investment and high return' business, and anybody with internet can do this.

    Ravens are the most common bird around me. I have at least a dozen pairs that frequent my property. They have unique little clicky songs they sing just for their mates, it's very cute. I feed them sometimes and they like me. They warn me when there's bears or cougars around. I suspect they keep an a eye on my dog for me too, she's old and blind and a cougar would have an easy time with her.
