It's pretty amazing how much we've lowered our collective standards for article quality since the advent of AI generation. (Not just here, but everywhere). It's not like it's a rote spelling mistake deep in the article, the spelling mistake is the very first thing you see.
Why would a serious author go with this image? Just a few years ago, misspelling "climate" and having nonsensical political cartoon to headline your article would have just been disqualifying.

- lynndotpy 1y agoNo, things are worse now. Our standards have lowered. There was no way to quickly produce low-effort vacuous text without writing it or copying it from another source before now. Of course people could feign intelligence before, but it's much easier now and our standards are lower. This is a double whammy.
