Regardless of how the data is sourced, this is bad. It's poisoning the internet.
Besides, such issues come from a lack of due diligence, which have only been exacerbated by AI.

Dude. The internet has been poisoned for a very long time. Remember Viagra? It used to be easy to call out the BS. But if you are outsourcing your thinking to a LLM, it’s much harder.

I'm very well aware of that. Unfortunately, this technology was invented, and the logic of our competitive society leaves little chance to contain it except scorched earth tactics.
