AI-Written Stereophile Articles


Has anyone else noticed that some of Stereophile's articles are sounding decidedly "off" and just plain badly written? I have now read several that sound suspiciously like they're AI generated (bizarre phrasing, odd syntax, etc.). Just curious if others are noticing the same.

For those whose careers were not involved in the large corporate business world and its motivations, you can be sure that AI was created by persons interested in one thing, to make as much money as possible.  Their goal envisions the replacement of jobs being manned by people with computers so the cost of employing people will be reduced as they are eliminated.

Costs will be reduced even more than outsourcing work to other countries.

 

 

I have an absolute disgust for anything AI. Articles, photos, video with AI narrators, immediately gets reported as false/misleading information.

Fun experiment (or perhaps desecration): train AI to write like Harry Pearson. I still have mint copies of TAS from the age of innocence before CD. 

AI done right is good for certain things. They tend more to be objective not subjective things.

So in the case of hifi audio I could see using AI to help get facts straight in a product review. It may even be possible for AI to provide an accurate assessment of what something truly sounds like. People are more error prone doing that and less reliable if the AI is done right.

However people are very good at offering opinions. AI might do that also . In which case then the question becomes whose opinions will you value most? Nothing new there.
