It is difficult for me to take an article seriously when there are glaringly obvious mistakes.
- emodendroket 5y agoAlso sloppy to have written "the band" here when in fact no band has been introduced.
- dwd 5y agoWas this article generated by AI?
- grawprog 5y agoIt kind of reads like it. The whole article reminds me of something produced by GPT-3. Just the paragraph structure and wording alone.
- Orou 5y agoAgreed. I'll admit I didn't notice it on first pass and just thought the Jim Morrison bit was sloppy writing, but reading it again it has all the hallmarks of GPT-generated text. It even talks about the etymology of the word "elite" for no reason! If it isn't GPT-3, then it's writing at a high school level at best and shouldn't be on the front page.
- thewebcount 5y agoYeah, that was my first thought, too. It certainly makes me wonder about the rest of the article. I did a quick search to see if there was any Jim Morrison-related news from 2018, but other than some other people with the same name dying, there wasn’t anything. Even that movie with Val Kilmer was like 20-30 years ago. Very bizarre.
- HWR_14 5y agoThere wasn't any Morrison related news, but my cursory search shows a resurgence of the quote circulating on the web in the 2017/2018 period. Maybe this was when the author first heard it?
