I am sorry, but in what way is everyone letting the "We've been creating bait content for a long time" comment slide?

Did you even read the article? It is about person to person interactions. The three examples weer:

* Someone butting in to an ongoing discussion with a solution (but it's generic and misfitting AIslop)

* Someone being asked for their expertise and responding (but it's generic and misfitting AIslop)

* Someone comes with a problem thesis looking for help (but it's generic and misfitting AIslop)

The only one of these that existed prior to AI was the middle one, and the article very specifically calls out how transparent it used to be, because it had the shape of a google link.

The first one would be impossible because the person would have to either write an unhelpful response, and they wouldn't find the words at length. You could ignore them or pick it apart easily. The last one would be impossible unless if they were copy pasting from a large PDF, which would look nothing like a chat message.

What kind of workplace hellscape do you work on where people posting low effort bait on SLACK was the norm? The premise of this reply is entirely non-sensical.
