Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

I think it's a good comparison.
The main benefit of the Internet is that it gives easy access to near limitless information. The basic Google use case of the Internet, I type in a question and get a link to an answer, whether that's a reddit thread, stack overflow, wiki article etc.
Whether you like it or not people are increasingly using LLMs for these sort of basic "factual" questions. Yes they can lie/hallucinate, so can someone on reddit, but most of the time they are correct and that's good enough for most people.
The problem with both is when we take them to seriously. It is common knowledge that both LLMs and the Internet can lie or bullshit you. When you lose sight of that fact and believe an internet community or personality or an LLM knows the world better then your own sense, it becomes a problem. And honestly the people who get AI psychosis are far less dangerous to society then some racist asshole who lost his mind on 4chan.
People like you are the reason people hate AI. Both are painfully confidently wrong.
How am I wrong? Do you think getting information is not a use case? Or that people aren't using LLMs for that use case? If not you seem to be the one confidently wrong claiming there are 0 use cases.
You can dislike the fact that people are using it for that use case, some people don't like the Internet being used for porn, but you can't deny that people are using it and getting something out of it.
