A Tsunami of Fake News is On Its Way and Here is How
“The Elon Musk funded OpenAI non-profit has created a breakthrough system for writing high-quality text. It can write text, performs basic reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization and all without task-specific training.”
“AI Ghostwriting and Better Translations and Speech Recognition
Many good applications of this system will emerge as follows:
* AI writing assistants
* More capable dialogue agents
* Unsupervised translation between languages
* Better speech recognition systems
Fake News on Steroids and Super-spam
Obvious bad applications can emerge as follows:
* Generate misleading news articles
* Impersonate others online
* Automate the production of abusive or faked content to post on social media
* Automate the production of spam/phishing content
OpenAI was worried about more fake news and spam, so they limited the release of the system. Other AI groups will still be able to replicate the work, a few groups will probably be able to copy it in the next year.
AI like this will become common leading to a ton of fake news and spam AI, to a potential widespread in 1 to 2 years.”
