    How many of these "news" articles are we going to get?

    This for me, isn't interesting, it required no skill, no imagination, in fact it seemed like it happened by dumb luck.

    So we have entered an age where an army of know-nothings direct models to old forgotten tasks so they can get 15 minutes of un-deserved attention?

      If human "skill" and "imagination" are your requirements for interesting, you're going to become permanently bored fairly soon I reckon.

        What? Why? This has been my bar for my entire life, and I've never been bored for a single second.

          Well at least the skill aspect will soon become so niche that essentially nobody will bother with the investment. So on reflection maybe not permanently, just mostly bored.
