A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Or... and this is just an idea... don't add "boilerplate" to articles.
If the content of an article can be summarized in a single table, I don't want to read 10 paragraphs explaining the contents of the table row by row. The main reason to do that, is to pad the article and let the publisher put more ad sections between paragraph and paragraph, while making it harder to find the data I'm interested in.
Still, I foresee a future where humans will fill out the table, shove it at an AI to do the "boilerplate work", and then... users showing the whole article into an AI to strip the boilerplate and summarize it.
A great scenario for AI vendors, not so great for anyone else.
