> I don't think ChatGPT and other things are going to make that much of a difference since people have been plagiarizing and republishing crap content for ages.

I'm afraid you're being too optimistic here. True, the internet has been full of rehashed, google-bait "content", in fact there have been lamentations recently that search engines have became useless because of these (because most of the hits on the first (few) page(s) point to such less than useless "articles").

What ChatGPT et al. change is that they make creating such content almost effortlessly easy.

An illustrative recent anecdote from an adjacent field: Clarkesworld, a reputable science-fiction magazine, had to suspend evaluating submissions completely for a while, because they were overwhelmed by the sudden influx of bad AI submissions.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
