AI can produce more fake news faster then people can debunk them
AI could actually help with fact-checking. But when I tried using neural networks for this, several times it happened that the AI invented sources. It provided links and even specific quotes, but it turned out that either the source didn't exist, or the statement wasn't there. In this sense, AI also makes recognizing the truth more complicated.
Sure, but currently it isn't dependable at that. Deeper you dig, more things it's likely to invent itself. Not too long ago i asked it about changing memory to my laptop model and it actually started to argue that my model had screws in places it didn't have. And when i asked for sources for it, they were all unrelated.
It's still just a complex language model and nothing more, and when we start to rely on the idea hat it can help with something like that, and we are actually using more time when we need to check the answers for both to original post and the AI. And since AI is being trained all around from all the net, in the end it can be using it's own disinformation as a source, as amount of that is going to be overwhelming.
