So the question I have on reading this article is this: what if AI produced better content, not mediocre content. And what if we didn't have this culture where people are valued only for creating 100% original work? Then it wouldn't matter whether we flagged an article as AI-generated. Just like, in an era of perfect auto-translation, it wouldn't matter whether it was "translated with the help of www.DeepL.com/Translator." Now I agree with the article that there's a problem with fake news, and systems that use AI to churn out content optimized for search engines. But these are issues that existed long before AI was widely used to generate content. And that's the thing with a lot of the criticism of the ethics of AI content generation. It presupposes that the humans will be ethical. But everything from Fox News to current Twitter management to the BBC executive suite makes it clear that humans in media can be very very unethical. AI simply makes it faster, easier and cheaper.
