It seems like the value proposition of this sort of extortion would rapidly fall if you just made a GPT3 bot that slandered people using a name generator to iterate over the less than 1 billion unique names that exist in the world. Publish and spam social media, mangle search results, then we'll be back to where we were in the 90s, with no one believing the contents of search engine results.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoYou need more than GPT3-generated text. As the article notes, slander sites often feature photos of specific individuals, taken from their social media profiles or other sources, and sometimes cropped in some way to make the target look even more ridiculous.
- f38zf5vdt 6y agoWell, it's a good thing nothing like that exists anywhere online. :)

- roflc0ptic 6y agoNeal Stephenson wrote about something like this in “Fall” - mass slander bots. Ultimate goal was destroying the credibility of the internet. In his world, it worked, and people started to watch only curated feeds. But it didn’t help much..
