About as close as we are to nuclear fusion. AI generation of shit will always be one step ahead of AI detection
couldn’t matter less apparently

Interesting approach—to detect fake news by simulating humans’ reaction to it rather than judging the content itself.
Peak “AI” grifting.
Cool. A new subscription to pay , an anti fake news suite. Another interesting subject would be how to deal with the licensing/ subscription we are facing which I think is even more problematic
That’s fundamentally not what this technology does.
It’s not impossible - neural networks are all about complex inputs with sparse outputs. ‘Is this bullshit?’ is achievable, given a zillion examples. But the way we’re training these models, we can’t know where it’d be hilariously wrong, and you couldn’t just feed in the news every day and update what’s real. It’d be stuck.
It’s not evaluating information. It’s doing math on letters.
The kind of bullshit detector we want requires going even further back into AI concepts that didn’t pan out, and brute-forcing them with modern data sets. We tried being clever and it’s not enough. But we tried doing a zillion times more linear algebra, and now it’s fucking everywhere.
Do we need AI for this? It’s already super easy to tell fake news from real.
Is it on BBC/CBC/Routers/AP? It’s probably real.
Is it on Forbes/Facebook/Xitter? It’s probably garbage.
Who decides whats fake. Objective reality doesnt exist especially in news.
