    Chances are, unless you made the website yourself, you don’t know who made certain decisions; who did specific work; how many people were actually available to do that work; how much pressure from shareholders there was to maximize income at the expense of user experience; any fiduciary challenges faced; or how often you had to overcome the urge to make a worthwhile product to further your goal of fitting as much ad space into a single page as possible (this one is HUGE).

      the even more disturbing trend of late is that

      1. nobody made any decisions
      2. nobody did any specific work
      3. nobody was available to do the work

      because an AI generated the entire content on the basis of an off-hand suggestion plugged in by a Search API directly reading some user’s query and shitting out a vapid, insipid extrapolation of that query in the rough shape of an article on-the-spot and brute force slamming SEO algorithms with keywords so it’s the first ten items you see when the search concludes.
