This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I actually don't think this is shocking or something that needs to be "investigated." Other than the sketchy website that doesn't secure user's data, that is.
Actual child abuse / grooming happens on social media, chat services, and local churches. Not in a one on one between a user and a llm.
Paywall. That site frankly does not even look legit and looking at the plethora of other AI sites I don't know who would use this one. It's not even displaying correctly and has like 0 information on anything. If I were to stumble upon that site I'd think it is shady as hell.
You are almost definitely getting downvoted because it sounds like you're saying 404media is not legit. I realize that you're not, but I'll admit I interpreted it incorrectly at first.
There are better ways to assess the legitimacy of a media outlet than critiquing its web design. The Wikipedia page might be a good start.
I don't like the loginwall, but it doesn't require payment.
They aren't talking about the news site. They are talking about the AI site.
Literally not paywalled.
And they did this for free posts because there's lots of sites that scrap and re"publish" articles.
I know this isn't necessarily helpful, but 404media has an account wall, not a paywall. You authenticate by email without a password.
They aren't talking about the 404media site.
Ah, pardon my misunderstanding. I thought the two paragraphs weren't related.
The site looks fine to me, I'm not sure where your criticism is coming from.
