...with “key takeaways” and regurgitated paragraphs that all follow the same format. It’s gross, and yet it generates an article long enough with enough keywords to show up on Google.

I don't really get the hostility towards AI scraping. Don't we want to have a healthy shared graph of human knowledge? This data is also used by open source models. It's poisoning the well for everybody to spite some companies who also have the resources to filter this - so you're really just hurting the good guys.

Hate is making people do stupid things. It's emberassing to call yourself a gamer these days ngl.

Because regurgitation without understanding leads to demonstrably untrue information being propagated as fact. There have been a number of instances also where AIs have straight up made stuff up as well.
