Does anywhere else even come close to the Ars of today? (For the sake of this question, assume a best-case response to this LLM-hallucinated article.)

I'm genuinely asking - I subscribe to Ars - if their response isn't best-case, where could I even even switch my subscription and RSS feed to?

I'm in the same boat, sorry. I don't subscribe, but I do have their RSS feed in my regular reader, and I don't know of any single site that's better.
