A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

"Paul defended his work, arguing that true crime is "entertainment masquerading as news" and that his content was less exploitative than traditional true crime media. "There's really no difference between us except that [I am] not using real people and their suffering as my vehicle.""
Bro. Honestly, that's a pretty good argument.
He is somewhat right about the ethics of true crime content, but that has nothing to do with him reporting lies as fact.
The better play would've been to be upfront with everything being fictional, then go all in - make stories about prisoners using wormholes to smuggle in contraband, or a vampire hunter accidentally killing an innocent human.
If Paul did something like that, he could have kept the channel and made his argument on there to a much wider audience. But maybe this idea would be too much effort for someone who makes AI slop...
