AI-written crap on Amazon and all over the internet (Washington Post article)

[Emrys]

29. I've been finding content on a few sites for a while that I think must have been AI-produced

(no, not here on DU yet), though with an emphasis on artificial rather than intelligence.

I stumbled across them in the "People also ask" section of Google's search page, all to do with music. They're evidently blatant clickbait, so I'll just mention one specifically: Fuel Rocks. Here's a sample:

Bands That Don’t Feature A Bass Guitar

In the world of rock music, there are a variety of groups that don’t feature a bass guitar in their music. Some of these groups are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Who. While each group has a different sound, they all share a commonality in that they don’t have a bass guitar player. This lack of a bass guitar gives these groups a unique sound that sets them apart from other rock groups that do have a bass player.

Grammatically fine in that first para (though if you click through, there's a serious glitch in the next para). Fomulaic as such articles go. And obviously an utter load of spectacular bollocks.

Another site was going into involved detail about some issues to do with tuning guitars, specifically the G string (right enough, notoriously problematic on some guitars). It even featured a well-drawn diagram to show you what and where the G string is on a guitar. Except they had an arrow pointing to the D string.

If these were AI products and not just the sloppy ill-informed burblings of some slave scribe, I don't think much of the brave new world that beckons us.
