> I imagine with GPT this is very easy to generate now

That's exactly what they are doing, but if they had any brains, they'd have a human read the answers before they publish:

This is tragically funny.

If the dragon fly devs are reading this, stop this nonsense seo gaming. This makes me trust your db less and cheapens everything that you stand for.

We are reading this and we will fix it shortly.

Seems to be fixed

It's... patched up to avoid embarrassment. It will be fixed when they remove the SEO spam.

You removed the specific answer but did not address the underlying problem that this thread is about.

Is your definition of fixing to remove the most obvious indicators that you autogrenerated spam or actually removing the spam?

Wow, this is really embarassing. I'm a bit shocked that they thought it is ok to autogenerate a FAQ with an AI. It's dishonest and irresponsible.

Why should I trust someone with my data that can't even manage this lmao

Because we focus on building the most awesome datastore and you should decide whether you prefer having your store designed by good marketeers or good engineers.

"Willing to take shortcuts of questionable ethics" is not a sign of a good engineer either. EDIT: ah, and now I see you also defending your shitty benchmarks downthread. Yeah, no, that's not how you gain trust.

Is that a valid reason to asses a tech product? Does it matter how good or bad they are at content and SEO?

From this bad episode alone, how can we judge if they are bad at keeping the data safe/secure?

I am trying to remember when I last checked Redis' or Clickhouse's homepage or other pages on their site. I only care about their documentation pages and if they deliver what they are promising.

Fixed, but still on Google Cache: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:U1XttD...
