Conde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.

AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

I’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

That’s actually how I found AA. AP finally got shitty enough for me to bail a few months ago, so I googled to see where Rita went.

I’ve found Android Authority to be pretty decent. As a bonus, they have Rita!

File size can also be prohibitive. I recorded my kiddo opening Christmas presents at 4k60, and the file is too large for Google Photos to back up.
