We're passed that point. Probably by a couple of years at a minimum. No sarcasm. Content farms are definitely using techs like this. GPT-3 is really good at generating text but still has some characteristic failures, and I encounter content farm web pages (despite my best efforts) that have clearly used it or something like it as a tool. Even just in the last couple of weeks I've been seeing some new, innovative content farms managing to pollute my search results that I've not seen before.

Oh boy, we need AI powered blockers that filter out this stuff.

This seems like a terribly difficult problem. I'm sure today there are some give-away signatures, but I put my money on the impersonators in the long run.

One of my current heuristics is the expression of weirdness. I can see it in the way I write, there's like this thread of a human processing information through emotional and idiosyncratic experiences. There's a certain cadence to the way thoughts come out. Maybe it can be emulated eventually, but that might be farther off.

In my fantastical imagination of that implementation, I would simulate "sim agents" as they live a life, collecting unique experiences that are the result of interactions with other sims. They then build up personalities, which influence their expressions in other mediums that real humans would consume. It's psychotic and possibly evil and I thought of it first, so no one better take my idea.

You might be able to see what I mean just in this comment itself. Could this have been written by an AI?

Oh, you mean sentient GANs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_adversarial_network

Yeah, that seems close. The main difference would be that it would be a co-evolutionary sandbox instead of zero sum.

This is how it ends the robots will figure out the real problem is people, better prepare for our new overlords maybe we can get into a human zoo..
