Ask HN: What will stop AI generated content from flooding the internet?

We are told by news sources the PRC attempted to flood the internet with porn spam, to somehow alter the balance regarding news reportage from mainland China. It didn't work. So, unless I misunderstand something, simply having more dreck does not automatically mean you can't see quality content. It may not always work out that way, but the current generation of 'flood the net with crap and see what happens' hasn't interfered with my browsing markedly, with one exception: I increasingly believe my feedback on any forum is 50/50 with a troll seeking karma points, more than people (present company excepted)

Interesting case and I appreciate you raising the point. I definitely see what you mean, however, I could see the quality going from trying to spam a post with irrelevant content to spamming with relevant but incorrect content. Again though, you're right that many current systems do seem to work to a reasonable extent.

I'd go to what "karma" is providing. An indication at some level of inherent trust in what people reflect on what they see. The problem would of course be that if the bots start voting karma, then karma will inherently decline as a source of value.

I probably go to verified identity. Thats going to upset a lot of people who want pseudonymous posting to be underpinned by substantive anonymity behind it.

I think in the case of ChatBPT and GPT, I want the AI to have "Hologram" H tattoo on their foreheads for some time yet.

Wow really? Whenever I search anything now half the sources I click have the same (verbatim) content, just different branding. And SEO optimization has gutted a ton of content and replaced it with trash.

This is the last bastion of human speech left in the internet already and already we see HN posts they’re just GPT.
