AI chatbots are not a replacement for search engines
The problem with ChatGPT as a replacement for Google is that it was not designed to produce accurate facts, and it shows. This model cut its teeth writing articles about the discovery of unicorns in the Andes[0] for goodness sake! It's a language model, and a very impressive one at that, but language is used to express falsehoods and fiction just as regularly as it is used to express truth.
This doesn't mean that it can't produce accurate facts, most of the time it does! But when it does produce nonsense, it does it in exactly the same tone of authority, so if you don't already know the answer you may well walk away believing an AI hallucination.
And the trouble is it doesn't really matter if everyone here thinks "well, I would follow up each request with research to verify the answer", because most people won't! This is like the Google answer extracts, which fairly frequently mislead by extracting out-of-context quotes, except that there's no way to get the original context and there may in fact be no original context! This makes follow-up research much more complicated than with Google and therefore unlikely to happen. If ChatGPT replaces Google, the amount of nonsense on the internet will get even worse, which is something that until 2022 I never thought was possible.

The Computers Are Getting Better at Writing
See also my experiments with GPT-3 on sane prompts, which have wildly varying quality even after generating them in bulk: https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-3-experiments
Creative writing hasn't been one of the super-hyped use cases by OpenAI for the OpenAI API outside of AI Dungeon, surprisingly. For just random generation, the necessary curation can detract from the time-savings advantages. (as an aside, the API is also extremely expensive for long-form content to the point I'm not sure how the economics work for these startups even with charging monthly fees).
I'm more bullish on small bespoke models for a given use case, which is what I spend my time researching.

Does GPT-2 Know Your Phone Number?
Thanks, didn't twig onto the fact that you linked a subtree of the whole repo. Weird that even with the nonzero temp the AskReddit prompt went a bit loopy.

Oh my goodness that is absurd in the most delightful way. Thanks for sharing that.

RSS is still pretty great
If you're using https://newsboat.org, you can add a filter (killfile) to remedy this:
ignore-article "*" "title =~ \"#shorts\""

Style Your RSS Feed
> Have you used any modern RSS reader recently like inoreader, they load the content of the page without visiting the publishing website.
I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.
Fundamentally, that's not a problem with RSS, that's a war between scrapers and content providers. If the email newsletter model persists long enough, I'd expect that people will come out with "newsletter readers" that scrape websites too.
I'm not sure there's a good long-term solution to the problem. Aside from constant vigilance (obfuscation).

Autoreload only some of the feeds
Not at the moment. There is an open Github issue asking for that feature, however, no idea if/when that will be implemented: https://github.com/newsboat/newsboat/issues/904
