    Typically, for AI training, you need human feedback. If AI were enough, then OpenAI would do it themselves. Though we all know how bad AI slop is, running it in a loop can lead to unreadable sentences.

    They hired contractors on the condition that they provide human feedback without AI; those people broke the rules, so their contracts ended prematurely.

    Not sure why this is news uncovered by an investigative journalist.

      How is it a failure of journalistic understanding? They seem to say pretty much the same as you

        "Percentage of humans that read headlines" > "Percentage of humans that read articles"

        Time and time again I see headlines that are designed to catch eyeballs and are totally refuted by the article. The problem is meat statocastic parrots read the headline and hallucinate their version of the story that is most likely.
