Search engines are basically 90% blogspam promotion machines at this point, and the blogspam churning engine is going to become completely autonomous. The tools we're relied on for nearly three decades now are going to become a big virtual tug of war between machine-learning-guided SEO systems and machine-learning-guided ad revenue systems.
Every single anonymous interaction is going to be suspect. The next dogwhistling fucking cryptonazi groyper you run into is probably not even going to be a human being. Machine learning is probably going to elect the next US president. Eventually the medium will become so polluted that we will have to go back to doing everything in person.
Thank you for reading my doompost
Your comment made me realize that the neural net equivalent of finding hash collisions could be used to discredit people: take human-written text and find a (sensible) chatGPT input that returns it as a response.
Honestly that sounds kind of fun. I would love to see different kinds of text media (I mentioned Hexbear comments vs database blog posts) ranked on how difficult they are to generate, how closely you can match them, or how convoluted the prompt has to be to get the right response.
so what you're saying is we can now definitively prove that twitter liberals are actually bots by finding out what prompt was used to generate their tweets
