> that is free of the quirks of a human author Uh, is that supposed to be a bad thing? Humans don't want to read uncanny-valley output devoid of personality and subjectivity. Even a Wikipedia article tends to have a small amount of flavor in the prose. LLM output is currently designed to be entirely without personality, because its developers are well aware of how disturbing it would be if the AI tried to sound like a person. But human people generally want to read and watch and talk to other people, genuine people--which is the problem new-old-web projects like Marginalia are trying to solve, what with most of the Internet nowadays being so full of SEO junk and for-profit websites and corporate-curated walled gardens... and now machine-generated "AI" content. The Internet can be (used to be) much more than just machine-generated summaries of raw data, and content that's just there to sell you things you don't need. (Also, if everyone just asks an AI instead of searching the Web, why would anyone bother posting new content for those AIs to digest? No human would ever visit their site...)
