Though there are many brands built on trust, whose domain name is very difficult to spoof, that are an exception to this.

Hate on nytimes.com, but you have reasonable confidence the content on that site is written, fact-checked and edited by staff at the New York Times Company.

Last month NYT hired an "editorial director of artificial intelligence initiatives" in order to guide how the company should and should not use generative AI.

They will probably still have human review and higher publishing standards than generic blog spam. But in just a few months or sooner you can no longer safely assume a NYT article was not written by AI.
