The Post found ChatGPT began responses with variations on “yes” 10 times as often as it did with versions of “no.”

You might have more of a cheerleader than a thought partner.

So we repeal the Biden flight cash reimbursement, but the big beautiful bill allowed 100% depreciation on private jets. Hmmmmm.

I'm sitting here thinking that divergent thinking is going to be more important than ever in an AI world where the "typical" way of thinking is going to drive people's outputs. Thoughts?

This is a crazy stat regarding local news, which has fallen off a cliff completely. The lack of local news leaves an opening for something to fill the void, since ai defaults to trying to get you an answer every time.

For the record it was all companies :)
@wilreynolds.bsky.social just went off on the SEO agencies putting themselves (and their people) at the top of “best SEO” lists 😂😂👏🏽👏🏽

It might work for visibility (for now) but it does NOT work for trust.

So these are the people we're asking to work without pay?

How you could tank a company's reputation with black hat AI tactics.
Query fan out goes deeper than most people would, meaning low quality sites that allow people to do negative reviews, have more power than they would have in a non - AI search world.
Black Hat AI Optimization - Use review sites to hurt a competitors brand answers
With most companies I would imagine if you only see 1 bad review in 23 years you would consider that a GOOD thing, not AI searches, from perplexity to Gemini to ChatGPT - we were seeing a single…

Publishers are flooding billboards, subways, and screens with ads for themselves—many for the first time in history.

This is going to make people finally riot I bet.
The FAA Operations plan that goes into effect at 2200 UTC (now), includes: MCO ground delay program was issued and users can expect a period of time later in the evening when no arrivals will be able to land as there will be no certified air traffic controllers available at MCO.
