I mean, the ideas are there. The scope of the project is probably too big to reproduce for now, but eventually it will be accessible to your average spammer / scammer. We will get there. We won't be able to get these tools locked, make them exclusive for a certain type of responsible AI specialists. Someone will spill the beans, the models. People with bad intentions will reproduce these results. To me, the real deal is how we will manage these outbursts when they happen. I assume discriminative models will solve the problem for a while, but as with Generative adversarial networks, you will be able to train models that are harder to discriminate against. I posit we're in for a big societal change (maybe more a content crisis) sometime in the next 10 years. Pretty sure we won't be able to keep it from falling in bad hands.

On the flip side, this will give an edge to specific groups that can communicate in highly vernacular/non-written/non-standard languages.

“Spam-filters, actually. Once they became selfmodifying, spam-filters and spam-bots got into a war to see which could act more human, and since their failures invoked a human judgement about whether their material were convincingly human, it was like a trillion Turing-tests from which they could learn. From there came the first machineintelligence algorithms, and then my kind.” I Row-Boat, Cory Doctorow, 2005: https://craphound.com/overclocked/Cory_Doctorow_-_Overclocked_-_I_Row-Boat-A4.pdf https://craphound.com/overclocked/Cory_Doctorow_-_Overclocke...
