I want to like this article. I’m not going to play games made with AI either. But this article is such a mess, even the ending punch is just an accidental self-own on the journalist/site founder.

For context, this site disclaims at the top that all reporting is free until November 2 to “commemorate their launch,” and this kind of thing will cost £7.45/month starting in November.

I could go on about how the article’s premise doesn’t make sense (even though I want it to!), or how he really could have just had one human read the article he wrote... or even re-read it once himself.

But I’ll let the last two paragraphs verbatim speak for themselves.

I'm sure you've reading to room at this stage, so lets close on what is easily the most succinct quote sent our way…

"If you can't be arsed to make it, why should I be arsed to play it, let alone pay you for it."

I’ve sure am reading to room!

Let’s close on this: If you can’t be arsed to read it, why would anyone pay you for it?

I’m fairly sure I won’t subscribe to this after free period ends but I’m giving it a go in the meantime. So far the reporting has been delayed compared to free news outlets and even the “originals” are rather shallow. This is not much different to a dozen of similar sites that have been started by journalists with good credentials lately. All seem to want much more money than I could ever imagine paying for this kind of reporting.
