- seventytwo 10y agoAnyone with a better grasp than myself on the AI domain care to comment on this piece?
- ahartman00 10y agothe article was originally published here: https://www.scout.ai/story/the-rise-of-the-weaponized-ai-propaganda-machine https://www.scout.ai/story/the-rise-of-the-weaponized-ai-pro... From their about page: "Scout combines science fiction and journalism to bring you weekly online dispatches on the future of technology" https://www.scout.ai/about https://www.scout.ai/about I'm not so sure if this is real.
- ahartman00 10y agoTo actually address your question. Text generation is a thing. They can actually caption images, although I dont know how good the grammar is. Simple markov chains go a long ways, though they dont create text with meaning. Dont worry though, I'm sure both sides will use it. So it will be fair :P

- seventytwo 10y agoah perfect, thank you
- masonic 10y agoNote that if you try to read this off the original scout.ai site (on Chrome), it clicktraps you from navigating back out, so do it in a tab whose context you don't care about. That alone is enough for me to choose not read the author at all.
- tsnieman 10y agoHello, masonic! I just started as a new developer for Scout and can assure you that this behavior is 100% unintentional. From the looks of it, the "clicktrap" seems caused by an unnecessary redirection. I've taken a note to address this in the near future. Thank you for the feedback.
