⇒ Please help me find #GenAI truth-telling sites! ⇐
In the past I've come across several websites that effectively debunk #GenerativeAI hype.
However, now that I actually need them, to help me make the case at work for strong oversight of the company's GenAI use, I can't find any of them.
It seems like no matter what search terms and search engine I use, I get garbage search results (hype, indeed!).
What are your go-to websites for debunking #AI hype?

When Google’s slop meets webslop, search stops: https://pluralistic.net/2025/07/15/inhuman-gigapede/#coprophagic-ai

A very good article on awful Google AI search results and how Google have ruined their own reputation by wrecking their workforce, by @pluralistic. A quote:

'Publishers and advertisers have more concentrated money than readers, but the dominant theory of antitrust since the Reagan administration is something called "consumer welfare," which holds that monopolistic conduct is only to be condemned if it makes consumers worse off. If a company screws its workers or suppliers in order to deliver better products and/or better prices, then "consumer welfare" holds that the government should celebrate and protect the monopolist for improving "efficiency."

But all that is true only if Google AI Overviews are good. And they are very, very bad.'

Don't use Google for search.

Is this slop created BY Meta?
If #Meta et al are using #AI to create unique, fictional content, then aren't they all publishers? They're only protected when publishing content from OTHER providers.

From #section230

If you want a picture of the future, imagine humans checking #AI didn't make a mistake – forever - https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/16/if_you_want_a_picture/ "CEOs will chase illusory profits as workers are left to pick defective items from an agentic production line" we've got things back to front...

Here is another take on the AI kerfuffle...

Old school industry.

Convert Energy to Labor.

New school industry.

Convert Energy to Intelligence*)

The Labor force was easier to exploit. You could minimise wages, get the worker to subsidise your business with their unpaid time, minimum wages, health, life.

Machines don't give a fuck.
FEED ME!

It's not that #AI takes too much energy...

👉It's that, MACHINES WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT THE JUICE👈

Everybody, do yourselves a favour and read this post from @pluralistic .

AI is not about the tech. Neither were blockchains and the metaverse. It's always about the economics.

"Google needs to keep up the story that it is growing. Once Google stops growing, it becames a "mature" company and its PE ratio will fall from 20:1 to something more like 4:1, meaning an 80% collapse in the company's share price..." - @pluralistic

Not to be the I said so guy, but it's near a decade ago that I first started muttering about maybe not calling Google a startup anymore - which is essentially & rather insanely what they're still doing.

I ❤️ restaurants using #AI for menus & marketing.

It's a glimpse into what shenanigans they might be up to in the kitchen. 🤢

Are you using AI to summary emails with Google gmail and workspace?
Google Gemini Bug Turns Gmail Summaries into Phishing Attack: No links or attachments are required; the attack relies on crafted HTML / CSS inside the email body. Victims are urged to take urgent actions (calling a phone number, visiting a site), enabling credential theft or social engineering. That is all.
