    That one article undermined my ability to reasonably trust Ars Technica; however, I’m glad they are taking steps to remedy that breech of trust.

      That same author did a January piece - “10 things I learned from …” Then all of the things he adored about vibbing with AI for a month. It was clickbaity enough that it made it onto the news.google.com feed.

      Ars has had lots of recent click bait phrasing in their articles, far more than a decade ago.

      I’ve put the site on cool-down from my regular rotation.

        I missed that one, I don’t read Ars Technica enough to know this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, as such an article would’ve belonged better on a techbro site, glazing LLMs that have yet to manifest the power that techbros claim it has.
