This is all very depressing. Even without explicitly malicious intent, the AI generated stuff is the equivalent of content gruel. The ability to produce it en-masse and effectively flood distribution channels does not bode well for the future of human culture.

Finally, the fact that most users on HN could not distinguish AI generated blog posts from the real thing means that the average "not terminally online" human has no hope of doing so.
