Well, they need something to pay the lawyers with once Musk takes notice.

Edit: I've just discovered this interesting concept called "reading the article" and found out that they've already been sued, though it's still not entirely settled.

Spread the word my brother! You've got to let everyone know about this new fad!

I read it but honestly, probably 80% of the time I do not. Because articles are very often full of pop ups and ads and tracking and paywalls, and are unnecessarily verbose (most can be summarized in 1-2 sentences), and are just republishing someone else's work while adding nothing, and simultaneously devoid of useful information or any actual sources.

Some of that can be solved with Firefox and unblock.

100% can be solved by knowingly making a glaringly obviously false claim about the topic and someone will correct you in a dickish tone while citing the article

Your grandad's AI summary, if you will.

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I've seen AI summaries that looked like the AI had not read the article.

[–] huey_m@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago

In fairness, that could be said of some of the know-it-all summaries as well. 😅

Wait. Is that allowed?

This is liberal propaganda FAKE NEWS

Jokes aside: I think it's great that you read the article, then went back to both acknowledge that it covered your point and admit that you didn't before.
