It’s not just the internet. For example, students are handing in essays straight from ChatGPT. Uni scanners flag it and the students may fail. But there is no good evidence either side, the uni side detection is unreliable (and unlikely to improve on false positives, or negatives for that matter) and it’s hard for the student to prove they did not use an LLM. Job seekers send in LLM generated letters. Consultants probably give LLM based reports to clients. We’re doomed.
Ok, i’ll bite. I don’t value the bot (in part because it rates sites/newspapers and not authors or articles. Good news sites have the occasional shit article and vice versa), so please reduce the precious space it takes up on my mobile device. A one liner with a link would be enough.
Something should be done about it, and as I mentioned elsewhere, the French supermarket chain putting stickers on shelves to warn consumers is one thing that can be done, as is mandatory unit prices (common where I live). And those things would be newsworthy.
An ‘attempt to get to the bottom of it’ is just hot air
Unit pricing helps. A French supermarket also puts shrinkflation warning stickers on shelves where packaging size changed but price has not, that too should be mandatory
The article is a bit shitty. I’m sure exxon-mobile are lying about something and i do not want to defend them. But the article does not spell out what they said on this topic that was actually a lie, and goes on to state how much was actually recycled - plastic recycling is a complex topic, but the fact that not everything that can be recycled is actually recycled is hardly exxon’s fault
