Operatives working for the Chinese and Iranian governments prepared fake, AI-generated content as part of a campaign to influence US voters in the closing weeks of the 2020 election campaign, current and former US officials briefed on the intelligence told CNN.
Unfortunately there’s not a reliable way to detect AI-generated content automatically, not without something like Google’s SynthID built into the model doing the generating. You’re bang-on that the box is open and can’t be shut, though, and I am spending more and more time thinking (anxiously) about what our collective adaptation to that fact is going to turn out to look like.
Its going to exacerbate what is already happening. People will subscribe to their own truths and have a slew of content that’s incomprehensible from fact and fiction. There will be fake politicians and candidates. Its going to be a nightmare and we are not on top of it. Plus, they’re already training the automatons to aim guns. Someone out there can script a trigger pull in a single line. We’re fucked doing what we are doing now.
