This seems like a difficult topic, I remember when the first GPTs came out everyone was worried how it would flood the internet with fake news (first example I could find: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19833094).

This review process seems like a reasonable solution to this problem, and personally I can't think of a better one, can you?

You may have not noticed yet, but something like one in five websites you visit are already using ML to generate “news” summaries. Especially in economy and sports.

Surely this would only be true for websites with English content, making "one in 5 websites" part false for non-native English speakers.

If you count DeepL translations as "ML-generated", I bet it's actually higher.

It is just delaying the inevitable, though, right? The problem of a flood of fake spam content is still not too far into the future, just not going to be powered by OpenAI specifically.

More time in the future means less today and more time to develop mitigations.

And one can choose not to be one of those folks who bring forth the supposed inevitable result.

Only works if the time gained is being used to work on mitigations. So, who needs to work on the mitigations & are they using the time that has been bought?
