Garbage in, garbage out.

[โ€“] Rhaedas@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

It's not necessarily garbage, but it sure isn't curated either. Throwing everything into the blender and hoping the mechanism will usually spit out good info is a scientific spinning of the roulette wheel. Sometimes the odds are pretty good. Sometimes they're horrible, and you should know better than to expect anything but.

But AI has become the shiniest hammer, and every damn thing is a nail now.
