Oh so you want them to do all that and gather all the data and do it themselves for free? What a dumb comment.
I've run a honeypot for the last month and the data is near-identical to this. It's definitely credible.
Yes, that is what 90% of the internet has been about since it became a thing. Doing everything for profit turns everything into shit.
Near-identical doesn't make it valuable. Plausible but incorrect is still incorrect. AI creates plausible and credible but incorrect data.
The plausibility and credibility is like a honeypot for your confidence. You read it, and understand it, and come to believe it. But it was false all along. You think you learned things. You actually learned nothing.
Sounds like AI
I initially disagreed but after actually reading the post, I'm with you. If it was only the article's text that was generated and not the data or graphs then I don't see why the whole thing would be written off. I mean, it's really sad seeing people offload their writing to AI but I still found it interesting.
Yeah I hate the slop but the data is good.
