    The fact that I can open up ChatGPT right now and say “Write a Kotaku article about why Tetris is racist” and get a 100% believable result out of it should be a sign that they’ve been replaceable for a while now.

        This sounds exactly like something Kotaku would write:

        One of the key criticisms leveled at Tetris is the lack of diversity in its visual representation. The game predominantly features blocks of different shapes and colors, but the absence of any explicitly diverse or racially inclusive elements raises questions. In a world that is culturally diverse, the omission of representation within the game can be seen as a missed opportunity to promote inclusivity.

        @Helldiver_M That reads exactly like a typical dumb shit Kotaku article. No wonder, because it was trained from human data. I don’t know what’s more shocking, that our News outlets by human is so bad we think a robot wrote it, or if the AI is that good that we think a human wrote it. Both perspectives are frightening.

      Believable as in imitates the writing style, sure, but what’s the point if it’s factually incorrect?

      From the article:

      The company joins a growing number of media entities experimenting with the technology […] These trials have already led to a flood of error-laden, plagiarized, and poorly written content due to badly implemented — and, some would argue, inherently unsuited AI models — that still have a strong tendency to make up facts.

      Hate on Kotaku all you want but they don’t make shit up as often as AI does

        To be fair, Kotaku does sometimes make shit up. Like the Persona 5-Smash crossover lyrics being ableist thing. And they tried to double down on it for awhile if I recall right.

        And yes, ChatGPT makes shit up all the time. More often then Kotaku.

        I know in a post gamergate world, we need to be diligent for things like dog-whistles. And hating on Kotaku is arguably in dog-whistle territory. I guess in my opinion Kotaku is so bad, that we should be able to safely mock the crap out of them. I’m even more happy to mock any chuds that want to keep non cis-white-males out of games. They just weren’t relevant for this occasion.
