I'd say roughly 70% of the articles Google pushes to my Android's 'news feed' is clearly AI generated garbage designed to maximize SEO. It's absurd. This has been going on for more than a year.
It's usually pretty obvious because you'll read something and some form of uncanny valley starts to creep in where you're like "no sane person writes like this."
- LarryMullins 4y agoIf old media plays their cards right, the proliferation of AI-generated content may prove a blessing in disguise for them. If they take firm stances against publishing AI-generated content, then paying old media for the news may become the best way to reliably get real content written by humans.
- oldstrangers 4y agoYeah I've had similar thoughts about this. The areas where AI can't really compete (probably ever) is in reporting / photo journalism. We'll always need someone to be on the scene to capture the events / investigate the stories, and I don't think the world is dystopian enough to start manufacturing AI news drones. Efforts will be put in place to filter out the garbage AI content with human made, real world reporting.
