    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.

        I doubt it. For “skill” there are any number of sports; for “imagination” there are any number of stories and other mediums. It’s not like every human has just decided to roll over and not do anything anymore; quite the contrary.
