Makes sense. Elon's scared of AI and Twitter still can't keep a lid on fake accounts. Manipulation of online dialog is still a real threat. It's weird though, how someone who's ultimately fearful of AI sponsors an initiative to advance and make available that exact technology? Anyway, too bad I can't use this to get out of work emails.

Just because an AI can get generate semi-plausible news items doesn't mean people are likely to believe them. After all, the source of the news is what conveys authority to most people. Otherwise, it's just a random blog post.

1) I think you'd be surprised at what some people will believe. 2) the more likely threat is botnet comments and fake social media accounts than publishing.
