New monetization strategy, I presume ... I'm expecting a great deal of chatbot-style generated content to start flooding in and the timeframe for cashing in on it is pretty low.
Yep, it is the same thinking that runs heavily in the conspiracy theory crowd. Anything that they even vaguely suspect as evidence is proof of the theory.
It is a shame that we are now in the position of having to think like this but that is the new world we are in now.
I remember several years back there was what I can only describe as a moral panic about "machine intelligence-driven", "automated" YouTube videos for children. The idea was that there were myriad channels using AI to pump out low-quality content, and that much of this content was bizarre and completely inappropriate for children.
I was interested in the process of how someone could use AI to create content and, as is probably obvious with the perspective of hindsight, I could find no real examples of channels exploiting automated, machine-learning production.
I didn't mean this article specifically, but it can absolutely be done. Make the LLM the "reader" and have them retell the story like low-quality blogspam that still generates clicks and gets promoted by Google Now-type features.
