      It’s certainly not helping.

      We’re already dealing with the problem of half the (US) population only believing things when they align with their political views and now on can’t even Google something and be sure that the entire first page of results isn’t SEO AI hallucinated misinformation.

      Peer review was already a joke, as exposed a couple years ago by two researchers who got a paper full of BS published.

      Doctooore Sbaitso, please enter your name.

      Man I wondered if I’d ever talk to anyone else that used it. I liked asking him to pronounce “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”, and he actually did a pretty good job.

        I support a law that all AI voices must use the Dr. Sbaitso voice. Imagine the impressive inefficiency of training an AI voice with the output from a 1980’s? Sound blaster.
