Re:How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been? on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @06:41PM (#49529249)
My bet is that Amodei's claims about the dangers of AI are the most likely to come true – I'm predicticing amodei/anthropic will become the evil it was against.
It's the writing style of AI. It's quite problematic for a lot of people.

I often really want to read articles, but the minute is encounter claude-speak, I (a) either leave (90%+ of the time) or (b) ask another AI to rewrite it using simple english or in a style of another writer in that space (yes, I know, it's ironical).

Just hard to read AI-ism.

The load bearing fact is it's not the content, or the originality, or the perceived lack of effort, it's reading the same trope for the 10000th time, and experiencing something akin to ad-blindness.

Read a interesting piece recently that Semaglutide reduces inflammation, and very likely the weight-loss and a lot of the other emerging benefits are likely the effects of reduced inflammation.

> It's hard to say what their motivation is

Why is it hard? Their government has been very clear that they plan to win on manufacturing: https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202601/08/content_WS695f1b55...

Technically they've been saying it for the last 40 years.

Came to say this. I've used it for years. Simple and works great!
Reviews for one. It's reviews are phenomenal.
