Glad to hear it's not AI-generated. The inflation number being lower instead of higher was extremely odd and AI is generally bad at math. The paragraph mentioned was very close to the Wikipedia entry in sequence.
After seeing that, I stopped reading shortly after and decided to just read the Wikipedia entry instead.
Re: the ads - they blend too much into the article that it was hard to distinguish between an ad and not which is probably why it felt like there were many ads. Sorry about that. You're right, after spending time discerning between an ad section and image there aren't many ads at all.
- mattl 2y agoAn awful lot of the Z80 Wikipedia article seems to be taken from oral history transcript. I hope you’ll read the whole thing as there’s a lot more to it than that and I asked a number of people for their personal history with the chip and I’ve been using a Z80-based machine for most of my life so there’s a lot of personal history in there too.
- theogravity 2y agoI'll give it my attention. Thanks for giving some background info.
- shortformblog 2y agoYou may be reacting to the fact that the actual content is broken out into numbers and quotes—that is a house style of ours, and we’ve used it for many years. More broadly, I would encourage you to be careful about claiming things are AI-generated vs. not. You perhaps saw it as a minor thing. I did not. It is a bad time for actual writers and editors and is seen as a claim of impropriety in media circles. It threatens our work. I reacted strongly to it because, honestly, being seen seriously is a real point of concern. I hope that makes sense.
- theogravity 2y agoIt does. Sorry, I didn't realize my claims would carry such impact. I definitely want to support the work of creatives and will be much more careful from now on.
