Someone here at HN made a great observation about this. The problem with neural networks and their generated output is that they are programs, running on the computers. We have been training humans for more than three decade that computers are producing precise, correct and reproducible outputs. And now these NN corporations have created a random symbol generators, and they actively hide the fact that there is programmed randomness in their programs. There was recent article about yet another generated text in the US court, this time without malicious intent (it seems). The article boils down to the fact that the plaintiff asked neural network to do a historical financial calculation of property cost and immediately trusted it, "because computers". Computers are always correct, NNs run on computers, hence they are always correct :) . Soon this mentality will be in every household on the planet. We will be remembering days of media dishonesty and propaganda with fondness, at least previously we kinda could discern if the source was intentionally lying.
