How do we tell what's real and what's not, when the internet is flooded with AI slop?
Do you think you can tell the difference between what's real and what's made by AI? What about writing? Or even music?
More AI-generated content is making its way into what we hear, read, and write and it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference. And when we can't tell who's making the things we consume, we can't tell their intentions behind it either. This is true when AI is causing more Australian job losses, and when the UN decides to use an AI avatar in place of real refugees.
