Well, it has been going on for some years now... Behold, RimWorld's official forums : https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?board=1.0 https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?board=1.0 But yeah, it does seem to be getting worse as neural networks get better... :(

  Current AI output still has a very distinctive quality to it, and I doubt that will change. Unfortunately a lot of people seem to be easily fooled.

    The "Turing test" bar has risen quite high. This is IMHO already a huge problem when you are a moderator with limited resources, trying to fight a hostile attacker (wait until they start semi-randomly picking "write in style X" !), and especially without causing a lot of collateral damage (false positives).

      And the moderator's mental health.

  Oh damn, this is just sad to see, but also very surprising considering RimWorld is not even a dead game.

    This is what happens with lack of "dogfooding", as you can see, the lead developer hasn't been active there since ~2021 (and in 2019 posted "I haven't had time to look at the forum for many years anyway") : https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=49934.0 https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=49934.0 Also my suspicion as to why the Path of Exile forums are so... inadequate (especially search), (though at least not overrun by spambots, in fact they might have the opposite issue with over-zealous moderation) you can hardly find the devs (including moderators) interacting with the community there these days : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum https://www.pathofexile.com/forum A counter-example would be the Factorio forums... so far ? https://forums.factorio.com/search.php?search_id=active_topics https://forums.factorio.com/search.php?search_id=active_topi...

You don't have to wait it's already here.

Already getting this. Absurdist summaries of my company's history page that read like a 8th grade book report. Thing is I bet they use AI to parse responses, which means there's many opportunities for prompt-injection.

Yes, the future is exactly like the past, except at ""web scale"". In the past we didn't have the resources to fill github with endless pages of blogspam, now we do.
