Artificial intelligence is automating the creation of fake news, spurring an explosion of web content mimicking factual articles that instead disseminate false information about elections, wars and natural disasters.
Dear WaPo, go fuck yourselves.
You and your NYC/DC brethren have introduced so much bullshit & inaccuracy into the public discourse that it's absurd for you to be raising this issue.
What we need is a lot of articles about how election results and scientific research are accurate and correct to balance out the opposite nonsense.
Or just stop letting AI do all of the things that it's currently doing.
Yep, didn’t see that coming. Between unregulated social media, news agencies that spread misinformation and disinformation, and the irresponsible use of A.I. Our democracy is in serious danger.
who, other than literally everyone who has ever thought about this topic for more than three seconds and does not stand to be personally enriched by it, could possibly have predicted?
AI usage shld be exclusively and only for areas it's actually needed: analysing huge data sets and NOT HUMAN INTERACTION
Why the hell is everyone pretending this is a done deal?!
People aren't walking around with succinylcholine in their bags,they can't buy uranium in the supermarket.
Regulate AI!
WaPo cut ~150 news jobs this year (plus ~120 on the business side): ALL local columnists, the entire social issues team, and education reporting. The 3rd richest person on the planet owns you, and if he had a problem with either "AI" or the total destruction of the news, things would look different.
