Someone has never read a Rolling Stones best of list before.

They were upsetting people over how they ranked music for decades before ChatGPT was available.

Here’s a thread where people are bitching about them in the same year ChatGPT was released. They’re talking about prior lists, so they’re not talking about AI generated ones. This has been an issue with Rolling Stone for literally decades. Everyone hates their best-of lists.

I’m gonna get tired real quick of this “everything is AI and you shouldn’t engage with it” take. If you can’t handle it, get off the fucking internet and go touch grass.


EDIT: Further, each section of the article, about 2-3 paragraphs per game has a human author listed.

Let’s just keep pretending that nobody gets paid for this kind of thing and make sure that nobody gets paid by lying and saying it’s all AI anyway, leading it to all eventually become AI anyway because everyone stopped fucking reading.

This will happen for every “best of” list. It’s why Giant Bomb always includes the deliberations, so you can hear how they arrived there.

Each game literally has two or three paragraphs dedicated to why it was chosen with the human authors name credited at the end of each game section.

Yeah, but how do I know they’re not AIs with human names? /s
