   “I, a writer, asked the plagiarism machine to copy guides for me.”

   This is how we ruin the internet. People will stop writing guides.

     @gamingonlinux don't worry, just wait for the thrilling follow-up article, 'sure, here's an 800 word article in the style of newly redundant gaming journalist Eric Hal Schwarz..."

     @gamingonlinux If ChatGPT scours the internet for guides and then proceeds to plagiarize said guides, leading to folks no longer writing guides.. What happens when there is no source material for it to plagiarize?

     @gamingonlinux Here's my hot take on the topic of AI competition, based on my personal experience with AI: If you cannot provide equal or more value in your product than a still frequently hallucinating AI where you still have to question every word and make sure the output is actually accurate, maybe you're the issue.

     The AI "competition" is good at best, but with just a little bit of efford, you can outperform it usually at everything but the most basic requests.

     @Einhornyordle not when the AI “answer” is shoved into your face as the first thing you see. All you’re doing is belittling the issue.

     @gamingonlinux I used to make guides for games and yeah, this is a very frustrating point for me.

     And yes, people found my guides, on my self-hosted website. Enough to make a few hundred a year from ads even, though I no longer run ads.

     The internet was great. Let's not ruin it anymore.
