One of my former (and very long-term) freelance gigs, How Stuff Works, has replaced writers with ChatGPT-generated content and also laid off its excellent editorial staff. It seems that going forward, when articles I wrote are updated by ChatGPT, my byline will still appear at the top of the article with a note at the bottom of the article saying that AI was used. So it will look as if I wrote the article using AI. To be clear: I did not write articles using ChatGPT. #AI #LLM #ChatGPT

    Isn’t that exactly how howstuffworks operates though?
