Like one of the commenters in that thread said, this sounds like they were using the noidex feature to use the IA as a personal private backup, and thus abusing it, and ruined it for everyone else. The IA is great as a personal public b

I stand corrected. However, I still think he's using GPT to generate much of his content, and at most doing some post-hoc editing of it.
