A surge of spammy news sites filled with A.I.-generated articles, TikTok videos of A.I.-generated voices reading text pulled from Reddit, and self-published A.I.-authored books are polluting online platforms.
Nilay Patel warns that an internet flooded with A.I. content could bring about a breakdown of recommendation algorithms, truth discernment, and overall business models.
