  It’s Yahoo! all over again, but even less relevant.

    I dunno that’s kind of an insult to Yahoo! At least it’s fun to say.

    Only because Yahoo! isn’t very relevant now, but it was when it happened to them, and due to the similarities, it kinda makes the relevant at the moment.

  It basically go bought by Ziff Davis, which is ironic because, years ago, ZDnet (run by Davis) was run out of business by CNET.

  I would like to see more articles about technology, and fewer about corporate valuations.

    You and me both. Seems like we’re in the minority, though. If I wanted business news, I’d be on a business community.

      Come to think of it, this article isn’t about technology, or even about a company that produces technology. It’s about a company that once upon a time used to write stories about other companies that might or might not have done something notable with technology.

      It doesn’t get much more blatant than this. I’m reporting it as off topic.

    Report these articles with “Business news, not tech news”, and there’s a high chance it’ll be removed.

    This community is also really suffering from bot spam-posts. It’s annoying we can’t have nice things without assholes moving in to ruin it.

  The AI system was always faster than human writers at generating stories, the company found, but editing its work took much longer than editing a real staffer’s copy. The tool also had a tendency to write sentences that sounded plausible but were incorrect, and it was known to plagiarize language from the sources it was trained on.

  I love hearing about AI biting companies in the ass. The more spectacular failures we have, the sooner people will shut up about it.

  TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog), once a long-standing trusted source for Apple news, recently became an AI clickbait farm owned by an equity firm. The pictures of the columnists that used to work there are now being posted on fake articles against fake names.

  Now all CNET links are suspect for the same reason.

  Slowly but surely the web I grew up with is becoming zombified garbage.

  “Private Equity” says it all.

  It’s tragic when a company loses so much value due to losing sight of the next big hype train. I’m sure they tried to pivot from blockchain into AI, but didn’t quite make the leap in time to save themselves. (Sarcasm)

    What about… hear me out here… AI-chain. I think this has legs!

  Someone got ripped off.

    But someone else leveraged their assets to create synergy. So they can be proud of that, at least.

  They jumped the shark when Buzz Out Loud ended.
