I wrote about how Amazon’s bookstore is filling up with deepfaked authors and AI sludge — an early warning of the challenge that text generation poses to platforms. https://www.platformer.news/p/writers-are-getting-deepfaked-on
Writers are getting deepfaked on Amazon

Platforms are filling up with AI-generated spam — and it's not clear who can build the tools to stop it

@caseynewton Reddit, Quora, Stack Exchange, etc are all filling up with the stuff. It blew my mind that a site famous for being the thing you add to a search query to get results from real people would go all in on generated content. The news about Amazon getting in on this is just the latest episode in the "do you have no idea where your content comes from" show. My guess is that they'll use the fact that people are buying it as proof it's a good thing to do.
