Quoting a chatbot in an article that is not related to a chatbot felt offputting and weird. I had to stop reading, because it somehow undermined any interest i had in the article

It’s just a different form of outrage porn. Attractive to a kind of conservative blue-tribe member. A single argument shape applied to various targets. It’s style-transfer into a field. No different from popular movie or TV tropes is a magazine trope.

I while back I posted a chatgpt analysis of the percentage of articles (from main stream journalism outlets) positive about technology vs negative. The answer was unambiguously negative - around 70-80% negative vs 10% positive. Generally these type of media outlets hinge on negativity and cynicism. Optimism is seen as childish.
