Paywall hell is real.
If it’s the same one I saw, it was on a Reuters article and I didn’t think Reuters was as bad with the paywall thing?
It’s not paywalled. The bot just didn’t detect the text content properly.
It’s doing its best, okay ?
I know that this is a low bar, but seems like that’s where we are on internet grammar: I’m proud of you for correctly using two different forms of “its”.
I should have written more to make you prouder.
Hahaha well thanks, It’s better than nothing.
In a world of blind the one eyed man is king.
There you go, and enjoy your day further.

That bot isn’t what we would call AI these days.
What we call AI these days isn’t AI.

What we what what we what.

At least it makes educated guesses rather than just flipping a coin as to whether to include a paragraph or not like that bot does
Automatic Screen Scrapper meets Obnoxious Internet Paywall
A grudge match between the Worst Things About the Internet.
The best part is how the original comment is on a post about AI.
Oh man you should have gotten the article it was on in the cap, the context makes it so much better.
I linked the source in addition to the screenshot. I gave all the context.
Oh yeah no the link is good but it would have been better to have it in the screenshot is all.
it would have been better to have it in the screenshot is all.
I was not in a position to do image editing at that moment to properly align context and bot comment. It was literally just screengrab and Ctrl+V.
There’s been a mad rush this past year, of shutting the iron paywall gates forcefully, locking the door and swallowing the keys.
It didn’t lie. 0% savings.
