Well, fuck. The GPT disinformation age is now.

I googled "OS for 4gb ram" and the first hit, which also was used by google to populate its snippet is an answer from quora which is very obviously created with #chatgpt (I recognised the non-committal non-answer right away, but it can also be detected by a popular GPT detector).

The user has 98 answers and, you've guessed it, they are all created with GPT.
PLOT TWIST: The questions where also created with GPT!

@eliocamp it’s going to be a wild ride. I have already resigned myself to the fact that gpt-derived models are going to make large swathes of the web useless for a long time. It was already happening on twitter before I left - I used to get gpt based bots show up to argue with me about trans rights. They were pitch-perfect at riling people up, and not easy to detect. I’m expecting more of that in the future

@djnavarro @eliocamp This could be really great if you think about it... We can develop new ways of discovering content that rely on trust and networking of actual people. This could be a really good upgrade for a lot of people's day-to-day epistemology.

@apodoxus @djnavarro @eliocamp really funny that you have a sunflower in your name because there is a service that aim to promote good content on YouTube and it is called https://tournesol.app (which means sunflower in French).
@lenhoang could explain it way better
