Devils advocate:
Given a hundred articles (in say, a social media feed) and a finite amount of time and cognitive capacity, how should one decide which articles to read?
If the presentation is AI generated images, and genuinely good content is otherwise “sharpened” with common AI fingerprint phrases in the excerpts and opening titles, what aspect would stop someone from equating it with other “bad” AI generated content and skipping it?
- edanm 2y agoWell, what would stop someone equating it with human-produced bad content? It's not like this is a uniquely AI phenomenon, "bad" content existed three years ago too. I think you should mostly just not use superficial characteristics like "it includes AI generated art" as much of a signal, and judge it the same way you'd judge anything else - is it from a publication you trust? Is the subject matter of interest? Does the headline and/or skimming the description + first few sentences make it seem interesting? All of those are better signals of whether it's worth reading something than superficial characteristics. After all, "don't judge a book by its cover" is a pretty common saying for a reason.
