It's plausible, but is it true?
This is the annoying thing I&#x27;ve found about AI writers past and present.<p>Maybe almost a year ago I was playing around with Rytr.me (and their competitors) trying to generate factual content I could use for SEO purposes on hundreds or thousands of band specific pages. Many top sites already have this, a bio of the band, list of albums, awards, some random Q&amp;A&#x27;s, etc.<p>This should be an easy job for an AI to do, yet in many cases it was plausible, yet not always accurate. They would miss key facts, point out songs, albums, events that weren&#x27;t really that important (despite the info being there). Sometimes the data would be off, and I&#x27;d have to go look it up, and if I&#x27;m going to do that, I might as well just do it all by hand, because I can&#x27;t trust anything generated. It is a pain enough to do for bands I think I know, but for bands I couldn&#x27;t care less about, blech.<p>In theory it would have been good enough, but I didn&#x27;t want to associate my site with that kind of crappy or incorrect data. Being dated info as well, it felt wrong publishing a page about an artist that died like a year ago and not mentioning it.<p>I&#x27;ve since circled back around and played with ChatGPT for this, but it&#x27;s still just off enough that I don&#x27;t want to use it.<p>The thing about playing with these tools is that you get really good at recognizing content written by an AI and you really start questioning a lot of things you read online for misinformation. It&#x27;s kind of gross and scary to see these simple answers appearing at the top of Google for any question and realizing they could be completely wrong, but people don&#x27;t know.<p>Just the other day we cut our dog&#x27;s nail and hit the quick and he started bleeding like crazy, so we look up what to do and find a content blog with what appears to be a few paragraphs with a clear solution, but it also had like 7 other articles showing up with similar queries that all had different answers. I scrolled to the bottom of the Wordpress site and it had 7000+ pages, I go to the last one, they were all added to the site on the same day. Almost every query I typed into Google lead me to this site as one of the first results. It&#x27;s fucked.
