I read that as libertarians at first and wasn't even fased. We all know Ayn Rand was secretly a machine.

This and many other new problems are solved by applying reputation systems (like those banks use for your credit rating, or employers share with each other) in yet another direction. "This customer is an asshole, allocate less time for their requests and warn them that they have a bad history of demanding nonexistent books". Easy.

Then they'll talk with their friends how libraries are all possessed by a conspiracy, similarly to how similarly intelligent people talk about Jewish plot to take over the world, flat earth and such.

Its a fun problem trying to apply this to the while internet. I'm slowly adding sites with obvious generated blogs to Kagi but it's getting worse

They really should stop hiding them. We all deserve to have access to these secret books that were made up by AI since we all contributed to the training data used to write these secret books.

As if a huge chunk of genre section wasn't already as formulaic as if it was written by AI

Skill issue, just use the Library of Babel

Good, people need realise AI is not intelligent. It's like a program that has memorised millions of books, some truths some fiction but doesnt really have the intellectual capacity to distinguish truth from fiction

Good article with many links to other interesting articles. Acts like a good summary for the situation this year.

I didn't know about the MAHA thing, but I guess I'm not surprised. It's hard to know how much is incompetence and idiocy and how much is malicious.

Everybody knows the world is full of stupid people.
