I dunno, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool, certified AI hater, and even I don't really care if this is AI or not. The cheeses I am aware of match their descriptions well, and if AI let some guy make this in like fifteen minutes so I can read this silly, fun site on the toilet at work, that's fine to me.

AI definitely could be used for something worse than categorizing cheese, I just recognize that the moment I see a page is AI-generated, my motivation to consume the content of the page drops.

I suspect this is a feature backed by an innate brain process related to down-weighting the storage potential of information from untrustworthy people, as a type of resistance to the human brain equivalent of a "poison" attack. For example, some guy that lied to you in the past walks up. Brain releases chemical that reduces "excitement", brain doesn't store said BS as readily.

That's totally fair, I guess my defenses aren't that high because most of what I view online comes from HN or a few small reddit communities, so I'm not exposed to much slop.

Aren’t you concerned with consuming made up information? There has to be a million fun silly sites you haven’t read that a real person put real research and real effort into. LLMs just can’t do stuff like this accurately right now.

[compass_copium]

Yes, I am, but I guess I don't assume anything like a blog or infographic online is accurate unless it's from a "good" source (news organization, citing a reputable book, etc.), just as a starting point to find something legitimate to read if it piques my interest in the topic. The writing didn't throw any particular red flags, so I didn't really care if the backend was AI constructed.

And it’s actually attempting a periodic table rather than just using the aesthetics as found in Mendeleev’s.

[compass_copium]

?

Mendeleev's periodic table was organized by periods of chemical properties...

[Affric]

Yes, the cheese are arranged by properties rather than just looking like a periodic table.
