I was looking for information on insect vision for a report I'm writing and came across an internet article. The first thing I noticed is that there was a picture under the header that the article called a mantis, but the anatomy was all wrong. It was covered in ocelli, for one.

Then I started reading, and as someone that has used chat GPT before... Yeah it was clearly written by an algorithm...

This is the site. https://healingpicks.com/

Look at the pics closely and you'll see they're messed up.

How long until the whole internet is just this shit? This is why there needs to be rules and shit about this, I don't care if it stifles the 'entrepreneurial spirit' of AI or whatever. The droves of lazy copy and paste style news and 'top ten' sites were already bad enough, but this shit is bringing the internet to a new low in quality.

I can't wait until this shit is banned by China or something.

I'm assuming someone has already mentioned the problems this causes when googling health concerns, but have y'all tried looking up animal advice recently? I was trying to find some info on a rare parosphromenus species I'm working with. In the old days, this would have taken me to some niche forum threads full of posts from dedicated conservationists. Instead I found dozens of articles with care requirements listed that would have killed the fish in a matter of weeks.

At present it's still pretty easy to recognize GPT text when you see it, but it's enough to fool web crawlers and by the time they roll out GPT5 it will probably be a lot more difficult for humans to tell it apart.
