This is a good first step, but it is well short of what Ars needs to do.

I still think the internet is the best comp for AI. It was a bubble that popped, but the underlying tech turned out to be real. It enabled a bunch of psychosis and slop, but also some genuinely cool stuff. Massive labor market disruptions, but employment levels look about the same.

What's worse, I ran passages from the article through ChatGPT and Gemini. They said "it cannot have been AI-generated as it's published by the @theguardian.com"! This outrageous!

Hey @theguardian.com. Are you denying that the following article is AI-generated? www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

The widespread availability of the Internet has been with us for approximately 30 years and we're still grappling with understanding its impact on society.
Yet somehow we're supposed to understand and accept the role of AI in society in a matter of months.
