I’m genuinely impressed by the speed of mass slopification raising the toxicity of the whole internet.

And now poisoning human attention and the very ability to reason. At scale.

Makes me think of Kali Yuga, the age of ignorance.

Are we doing this to ourselves? Is it being done to us? Is it some kind of self destruct implanted by aliens in a dark forest scenario?

It’s just… really fascinating.

Also reminds me of this - story

This is a problem: some people, some companies... no one want to pay | give more effort if it can be done faster and cheaper.

Write your own copy of.... what?

This sounds AI haha

For those who want to get better at writing, the easiest way is to read judiciously. Of course you do have to practice what you want to become good at as well.

For marketing copy, have conversations with users. They will give you the perspectives, pitches, and parlance you seek.
