Fascinating this works, but please dont kill actual content on the web with AI. It sounds like you've made it harder to find real content about MS Excel.

Not the author of the tweet. I posted this because I felt the approach posed a real danger.

Considering that it's actually targeting a particular competitor using data extracted from their website, is this even legal?

This will certainly be used by corporations to whitewash their bad histories.

IBM’s relationship with the Nazi Holocaust was difficult to find last week. the Wikipedia article, the book, and articles were all pushed further down to the bottom of google search because of the “News” that IBM pulled out of X advertising for anti-Semitic remarks.

Although the “news” is now older and not pushing down the results as far as it was last week. There will be perpetually generated “news”, books, and blogs that whitewashes away bad histories.

AI-generated PR campaigns that never, ever, stop.

This is an ad.
