Tag: Rollback
removed some claims with weak/absent citations (I think for a service as large as github, a github discussion with 34 upvotes and 20 participants is not sufficient to demonstrate a substantial public backlash). the deviantart one also needs some work to this effect

|Replacing skilled workers with AI
|Due to its generalized nature, jobs across fields from digital art to writing and programming have had experienced staff replaced by lesser-paid (and often lesser-experienced) employees who would be tasked to use generative tools to do their work. To remain relevant to the wiki's purpose, the usage leads to the detriment of product quality for consumers, such as representatives replaced with chatbots, or products being sold by companies use poorly-generated content that may harm the consumer.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grady |first=Constance |date=29 Apr 2024 |title=The AI grift that can literally poison you |url=https://www.vox.com/24141648/ai-ebook-grift-mushroom-foraging-mycological-society |url-status=live |access-date=31 Mar 2025 |website=Vox}}</ref><!-- Reference included more to represent what is intended -->
