wikipedia articles: hey this is pretty good!
wikipedia talk pages: what is wrong with you people

it's not actually any more painful than any wikipedia talk page, it's surprisingly okay for the genre really

remember: wikipedia rules exist to keep people like this from each others' throats, no other reason

I've just realised:

this reads just like a neoreactionary trying to be literary

e.g. the Dimes Square literary astroturf crowd

same problem as gen AI output: too much style, zero understanding of basic structure, you cannot get that fine detailed in structure and be that bad at the basics.

it's gonna be a massive disaster across the wider economy, and - and this is key - absolutely everyone saw this coming a year ago if not two
