You can say that, it doesn't matter. The statistics show that these tools reduce views.
And really, "I'm going to replace my entire news intake with the AI slop even if it's entirely hallucinated lies or propaganda" is perhaps not something you ought to say out loud.
- skeledrew 2y agoReality is view stats, etc don't matter to most users. All we want is to read/research in peace. You're missing something crucial. Yes, there may be hallucinations, but that's why there's preference for AI that provides citations; they can be easily checked. And also, in my experience, the summaries are usually decent; the sources which tend to yield pretty broken summaries also tend to intersperse unrelated material (ads, previews to other things, etc) in the content, or they're doing wild transforms with JS for example to create unnecessary eye candy. And coincidentally, I'd rather avoid those sources where possible, so it becomes an even greater win for me as user to have AI prefilter said content. Thus the sources getting those precious views in the end become the ones that respect their users' time and aversion to distractions.
