Anyway, get hyped for Glorbo, I hear it’s the best change since the quest to depose Quackion, the Aspect of Ducks.
The ending line is great. The archived article itself is pretty hilarious too
The archived article ist pretty amazing. Especially this quote seems almost unreal.
Reddit user kaefer_kriegerin expresses their excitement, stating, ‘Honestly, this new feature makes me so happy! I just really want some major bot operated news websites to publish an article about this.’ This sentiment is echoed by many other players in the comments
They’re right about the fact that Google has to step in an ban sites like this. Otherwise people will just stop using Google’s
Google Search results have been absolute crap for a long while so many already have.
Absolute crap is an exaggeration. I went back and checked my history and almost all of my search results were accurate and I got my answer within the first page. I don’t wanna be that guy but maybe you’re doing it wrong. I’d love an example of an “absolute crap” result.
I’m a technical search engine user since AltaVista. That all search engine results declined in quality to become near-useless has been covered in multiple articles (e.g. HN). Reasons are SEO, counter-SEO and increasingly targeting mass users. I’m wondering about your use cases since you’re not seeing it.

An easy example is to search for a product comparison. “Best ___ for 2023”. Those have way too much SEO and most are barely one person’s rambling opinions, possibly made with AI.
It is nearly impossible to find good product comparisons these days. Nearly all of them are generated off of Amazon reviews, which are terribly unreliable. I used to just append Reddit to the end of my search but now that isn’t much of an option anymore either…
Oh I never said I don’t see it. I also mentioned it. But it’s not absolute crap is what I meant.
I never thought I’d witness the birth of a hero. Long Live Glorbo!
Unfortunately at some point AI will be able to generate articles completely indistinguishable from human ones by search engines.
I don’t see why they couldn’t generate even crappier articles than today, but ranking better on search results, if they are set to learn SEO, optimizing their articles specifically from being fed back their search ranking. AI could learn to actively boost their rankings by searching for their own articles, accessing the result links, cross linking articles and commenting about them on their own pages or on social media.
It will be a new SEO war, writer AI vs search engine AI.
And rhe scariest thing will be when they can produce articles indistinguishable from human ones, by humans, even playing the games and interacting in communities as human gamers.
Though AI regulation should be easier to enforce than sponsorship and such when it comes to news articles.
If we just require companies to always mark their work as being AI work then we can quite easily just have a search engine that toggles AI results.
But government is usually 5 years behind tech at least and in the meantime companies like Google will just choose the path of optimal profit.
But government is usually 5 years behind techThe EU already regulated all the AI (and are very proud of it). Even though there is not one mayor AI company based in the EU 🤷

It won’t work in the long term. There will always be a country welcoming your content servers, out or reach from regulations.
Then what will we do? Have government blocking those countries at country border firewalls?
Wait, they’re not bringing Glorbo back? Aww, I was going to reinstall WoW for that
Yes, it’s inevitable. The problem is that between today and the point where every job is replaced by AI and robots (and we’ll work figurative jobs 4 hours a week, and every human will have a comfortable life because everything is produced with zero cost, thus extinguishing capitalism), there’s a transition period (which has already started), where jobs are destroyed faster than alternatives are created, and corporations fight for profits amidst the looming singularity.
If society and civilization survives the abyss, eventually it’ll reach the other side.
This is absolutely hilarious!
