This is good? Humans wasting their time writing junk to fool the Google algorithm is a waste of their time. The problem is 1c goes to Microsoft instead of $10 to someone needing an income, so we concentrate wealth even more.
- benatkin 4y agoIt isn't all junk though, it's stuff people spend their time reading. People like to listen to CHAT-GPT. I hear it all the time. I myself am not too big on talking to ChatGPT but I find that when I go to ChatGPT to experiment with it I tend to spend extra time just chatting.
- quickthrower2 4y agoYes Chat GPT as a personal assistant is great. But tell it to create content spam and use that so someone else finds it when googling how to train their dog is less useful for the person searching.
- VWWHFSfQ 4y agoChat GPT doesn't waste words to keep you scrolling on the page like spam bloggers do. Chat GPT content is superior in pretty much every way.
- HKH2 4y agoNor does it pad out writing because the publisher wants a certain number of pages.
- quickthrower2 4y agoIt can waste words if your prompt it to. “Write a spag bol recipe with a very long nanna backstory” Then keep asking follow up questions for more text.

- notduncansmith 4y agoA lot of it is junk I don’t want to spend time reading but nonetheless have to look at in order to get to the content I want. For instance, try finding recipes on the internet. While some recipes are accompanied by real human stories and interesting metadata about the recipe, most are surrounded by junk text best stripped away. Similarly, consider the average news article: core factual content surrounded by junk text (often needlessly inflammatory to one group or another). For me personally, these and many other categories of information are best left to a program/AI that will omit the junk text when delivering me the information.
- lelandfe 4y agoMost people do jobs that produce junk. Automating them all into unemployment would be disastrous.
- VWWHFSfQ 4y agonah there's still plenty of junk for them to do
- lelandfe 4y agoThat's a bit handwavey. And the problem for the economy (and the people that make up that economy) lies in the time in between them finding those other jobs.
- MrVandemar 4y agoPerhaps we should examine the culture we have that require people to do jobs that produce 'junk'.
- ImHereToVote 4y agoIt's not the culture, it's the people holding capital. Change the culture all you want, you still gotta eat.
- croes 4y agoYou mean capitalism?
- xiphias2 4y agoOnly ChatGPT will have to read all the junk Google search results in the future when people go directly to ChatGPT anyways.
