A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

saw this posted on /c/science. read the article and became more and more suspicious. only other article i could find about this was on a similarly suspicious "animal news" website and followed the same format, but alleged that the species was found in the mojave desert rather than the congo.

not cool AI slop factory, dont play with my love of weird little guys.

Links seem to be broken, in this case I don't see that as a bad thing. :)

The WORST part is that both stories are being uncritically stolen by MSN and monetized by them:

Mojave:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/scientists-identified-an-electric-pangolin-in-mojave-desert/ss-AA1EVzt8

Congo:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/scientists-stunned-by-electric-pangolin-found-in-congo/ss-AA1FhBj1

So you have an AI Slop site ("Animals Around The Globe") producing bullshit articles, that then get linkjacked by MSN for their own AI bullshit site.
