This is a very hard problem, "who is the original author of a string of facts," "is that string of facts sound or was it altered," this is like the end of truth.
I know that truth is relative but it's like there's no point in using the word truth anymore. Everything is just becoming a collection of words.
- mahathu 4y agoExactly how I feel. I'm especially worry about trust in historical facts. Renowned and trustworthy institutions, even as they may have their own biases, may not have such an easy time competing against tons of generated AI content..
- cosmojg 4y agoI'm optimistic that this will force society to take critical thinking more seriously, treating it like a skill as fundamental as language, rather than lazily relying on shaky concepts like "renown" and "reputation." Our current society often rewards appeals to authority over well-reasoned arguments supported by strong evidence (e.g., the CDC's initial recommendation to avoid masking, despite mounting published evidence, and, later, continued insistence on the prioritization of sterilizing surfaces over mask distribution, again despite mounting published evidence). I'm hopeful that, given a higher noise floor, we'll all do our best to develop better filtering algorithms.

- ncr100 4y agoWow - unintentional deep-fake. Fantastic point. Another challenge to our notions of identity, brought on by evolution of technology.
- markstos 4y agoYes. The user claims he wrote one of the posts but admits that AI wrote some others. The tone and style look identical.
