"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ars writers likely used AI to hallucinate quotes from the blog “An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me” (web.archive.org)

Likely AI, because otherwise they just made up some quotes on their own. Either is egregious journalistic malpractice. But we all know which one it was.

The maintainer reported in the comments of the article that he is exclusively misquoted in the 2nd half of the article (including misquoted calling himself a “gatekeeper”).

Edit: I did confirm all misquotes from archive versions of the blog and ars article. But I also read the blog yesterday and have memory and it hasn’t changed

Edit 2: Ars took down the article, replaced with archive.org. And here’s the blog archive version

Ars has been on a downward slide in quality for a while in my opinion. Just the other day there was an announcement from NASA about astronauts being able to take smartphones to space and the Ars article mentioned iPhones specifically in the headline and the article despite the press release not naming brands.
